bomutils

Open source tools to create bill-of-materials files used in Mac OS X installers

bomutils are a set of tools to create Mac OS X installer packages on foreign OSes (windows, linux, etc.). These tools can be used as part of the cross-compilation process. In particular, it includes an open source version of the mkbom tool which is distributed as a closed-source version on Mac OS X Developer Tools.

I spent many days writing bomutils and still spend considerable amount of time maintaining the code. If you find this software useful then why not consider donating:
