Are you sure?

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/?name=packagemaker

returns 0 hits for me

and the latest "Auxiliary Tools" that still contain PackageMaker are from July 2012.

That version doesn't crash, though, and appears to work. However:

IOW, it seems that the dmg command doesn't take the revision into account?
(port dmg bzip2 works fine for me)

Something else: I have a recollection that either of the pkg, mpkg, dmg or mdmg commands started a build-from source, the last time I tried, quite a while ago. The current implementation didn't for zlib and bzip2, but is now building xz after I tried `port mdmg xz+universal`. Yet I that's how I have xz installed?!
