I have installed pdftk Macport in my administrator computer. Now i want to deploy the binaries and all related files to run pdftk on 20 networked macs without copying all /opt directory. Please, anybody can advice me about the best way to deploy a MacPort from the administrator computer to users computers ? Is there a way to make a osx package from an installation for deployment ?
That depends, on whether you want the other 20 computers to have developer tools and/or the command "port" or not...
If you only want to install the software, and not be able to use port (1) to install any upgrades or the other MacPorts features, then you can use the "port mdmg" command to create a DMG disk image with all the required PKG packages inside. If anything (including dependencies) updates version, you'll need to make another such (rather big) disk image and upgrade from that.
The missing "automatic upgrade" and the missing "uninstall package" are limitations of using the Mac OS X Installer.
