I can take this one.
Oh that's horrible. I had no idea the pkgdmg provider did this with non-http
urls.
lines: 75-77
<pre>
cached_source = source
if %r{\A[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9+\-\.]*://} =~ cached_source
cached_source = "/tmp/#{name}"
</pre>
That's the problem. What would be your desired behavior? Seems like we have two
choices if the source refers to an existing filesystem path:
a) mount from that location, no deletion.
b) copy to /tmp, mount, install, delete from /tmp

Bug #2740: pkgdmg provider should not be deleting package files
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2740

Priority: Normal

Branch:
Currently, the only good way to install packages through the pkgdmg provider is
to run an HTTP service. For our setup, this is far from ideal. We keep an NFS
mount on all our managed machines, and serve files through that.
In my opinion, the pkgdmg provider should never be deleting files. At the very
least, it should be optional behaviour.
