The pkgdmg provider does currently install all pkgs it finds in the dmg.
mounts.each do |mountpoint|
Dir.entries(mountpoint).select { |f|
f =~ /\.m{0,1}pkg$/i
}.each do |pkg|
installpkg("#{mountpoint}/#{pkg}", name, source)
end
end
I'd argue you should just repackage in a new dmg if you've got dmgs like that.
I just find the apple provider really clunky. You need to set up your
own relationships to download the compressed pkg from somewhere and
put it on the local filesystem, then install the package, leaving the
package lying around.
