Hello all, 
Fairly new to Composer. A few questions about the procedure.
I have Composer on an External drive that also has Apple Dev tools on it.  I boot the image machine to its own hard drive.  Take a snapshot, make changes, take snapshot.  When saving then as an Apple .pkg (for use with Apple Remote Desktop), I get the
messsage that the Apple Dev tools is not installed. It is only looking locally for the Dev tools, not from the External drive that I have them on already.

So I install the Dev tools to the local hard drive, the saving goes through, and the .pkg works just fine.  

My question is this:  Any machine that you are running  as the image machine, will you need to install the Apple Dev tools on? I do not see any other way.  Booting from the External is not the answer because how else will you make changes to the local
machine's hard drive. Should I be looking at having the Apple Dev tools as a mounted image on that computer?

Hello Scott,

The Apple Dev tools (XCode) should be installed on the machine you?re making
your packages on if you want to make Apple .pkg format packages.

To speed up package builds, you can create a base image that includes xcode
or an xcode package that can be applied to a clean system install before
taking your initial snapshot.  If you?re using the full Casper suite and you
have a particular computer that you do your package builds on, you can use
autorun data or a policy to reimage your package development computer and
apply the xcode package.
