ILIfe '11 Packaging with Composer

Using Composer, instead of snapshotting the install, drag the following files in their entirety into a new Composer window:Applications GarageBand iDVD iMovie iPhoto iWebLibrary Application Support GarageBand iDVD iLife iLifeMediaBrowser iLifeSlideShow iPhoto ProApps Audio Apple Loops Apple Loops Index Documentation Applications iDVD iMovie iPhoto iWeb Fonts AppleCasual.dfont BlairMdITC TT-Medium Bordeaux Roman Bold LET Fonts Cracked Handwriting - Dakota Palatino PortagoITC TT Frameworks iLifeFaceRecognition.framework iLifeKit.framework iLifePageLayout.framework iLifeSlideshow.framework iLifeSQLAccess.framework NyxAudioAnalysis.framework Internet Plug-Ins iPhotoPhotocast.plugin QuickLook GBQLGenerator.qlgenerator QuickTime AppleIntermediateCodec.component AppleMPEG2Codec.componentSystem Library CoreServices CoreTypes.bundle PrivateFrameworks BrowserKit.framework iLifeMediaBrowser.framework ProKit.frameworkWhen you create your policy, force a restart at the end of it. The apps should all now launch fine and work correctly.Why the drag-into Composer instead of just using the snapshot? I've had some "iffy" results letting Composer update file bundles/packages - far better to deploy the complete file than the fragment which may or may not work. The caveat, of course, is if one of the frameworks gets updated by, say, 10.6.6 or a later update, then you may not be able to deploy this iLife package to a 10.6.6 machine without problems/issues - may need to rebuild it. But for those who need to deploy it now, here is a wat. Hopefully soon we'll see newer diffs for Composer (I haven't tried to see if the Composer bundled with Casper 8 has them).
