unpkg overview
unpkg is a utility that simply unpacks all the files in a Mac OS X package (.pkg file) into a folder. Very handy, and GNU GPL free too!
Features:
- Super quick, no non-sense unpacking
- Easy drag-'n'-drop interface
- Extracts both standard packages and metapackages (.mpkg files)
- Does not require any passwords (unpack all those archives that want Administrator privileges!)
- Unpacks both old-style (10.4 and before) and new-style (10.5 and later) packages, even on 10.4
- Automatic unpacking of files to a folder named after the package in the same directory if possible, or the Desktop
- Good package detection (unpkg will not try to unpack something that's not a package, and easily handles malformed packages)
- Licensed under the GNU GPL
- On GitHub. Clone and fork away

This is a very handy application. Works as advertised in 10.6.8.
Just say "No" to blindly installing packages.

Really great app, saves lots of time in the course of an average workweek. It’s even better when you can read the contents of a .pkg using Suspicious Package before unpacking it with unpkg (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26833/suspicious-package). Thanks to the developer for making it free!
