Just wanted to mention that I confirmed with JAMF that there is still no diff for iLife 11, and no plans to create one.
However, I was able to get iLife 11 into my InstaDMG/InstaUp2Date build train quite easily with minimal messing around by simply copying the Installer/Packages/ folder off the iLife 11 DVD into my InstaUp2DatePackages folder (I put it into an ‘iLIfe 11 packages’ folder in there just to make it clear what it was), then symlinking ‘Install iLIfe.pkg’ in InstaUp2DatePackages to InstaUp2DatePackages/iLife 11 packages/Installer/Packages/iLife.pkg
I then ran checksum.py on the Install iLife.pkg symlink, added the line to the right catalog, and bingo.
It worked great, and was then updated nicely by the included iLife11_updates.catalog
The only oddness (and I don’t think this was caused by my method, but I’d be curious to know if others have see it) is that shortcuts to iMovie and Garageband were added to the dock [i]on the computer creating the InstaDMG build[/i]. This seems like it might be a bug in Apple’s iLIfe installer. Rather odd, but all else seems well.
