First thanks to: Jef Eliott, Alan Pae, David Foster, Jeff Putsch, Trucks Jesse, Jon Godfrey, Bertrand_Hutin, Gerard Henry, Todd Urie, Reginald Beavers, Dik Casper, Eric van de Meerakker, Walter Heukels and John Riddoch. Original question: If a application builder gives me a software package, I want to look into the pre/post instal/remove scripts. When the package is trasformed into a transport file (.pkg file) I can not look into the scripts anymore. Is there a way to look into the scripts of a .pkg file? To this question I received two differend awnsers. 1) You can use the pkgtrans command to turn the datastream package pkgtrans [-s] <package-name>.pkg /tmp After this there is a regular package (directory structure) left so it is then posible to go to de scripts and 'view' them. 2) pkgadd -d file.pkg -s spool to extract in spool or pkgadd -s <spool-directory> -d <yourfile.pkg> [pkginst] pkginst is optional Write the package into the directory spool instead of installing it. Thanks to all the persons that replied to my question.
