making a installation package

Hello,
Maybe this is not the place to ask this, but I try.

My app is nearly finished and now I want to distribute it. I think I need to make a pkg file, but I don't know how. This is the requirement:
    the app must be placed in the /program/ folder
    the database I want to put in the users/USERNAME/plantenkennis'/ folder so I can reach them with my app

I think I need to use pkgbuild or or productbuild, but I don't know how to use all commands. I have read a lot on it on the internet, but now I am stuck (and hopeless :cry: )

Hope someone has a script example on how to do this.

Hello Antonio,

I think packages is just what I need. With the online help I was able to build a pkg file. Thanks.
