osxpkg - Apple macOS and OSX packages

Supported Uses in FPM

fpm supports input and output for Apple’s package files. These files typically end in “.pkg”. This means you can read a .pkg file and convert it to a different output type (such as a dir or rpm). It also means you can create a .pkg package file.
