Creating a Package Using File System Monitoring When creating a package using file system monitoring, Composer uses the File System Events (FSEvents) framework that is built into Mac OS X to monitor any changes that are made to the file system. Each time a change is made, FSEvents receives a notification. After your software is installed, Composer analyzes the changes and builds a package source based on the results. The following limitations should be taken into consideration monitoring the file system to build a package: You can’t quit Composer during the installation process. You can’tlog in or restart during the installation process. It is possible for FSEvents to miss events if there is too much file system activity. To create a package using file system monitoring: 1 Open Composer and authenticate. 2 Click the New Package icon in the toolbar (Command + N). 3 Under the Monitor Installation heading in the sidebar, select Snapshot. 8
