If the package says "AdminAuthorization", the installer now runs the
"RootAuthorization" code.
This means that AdminAuthorization and RootAuthorization packages
ALWAYS ask for an admin password before installation commences.
(The old case was that if the user was an Admin, AdminAuthorization
packages did not ask for a password.)

The original poster is hoping for the
"death of Admin Authentication"
and the response is that
"(Admin authentication now always requests a password.)"
Doesn't this mean that Admin authentication is still around???
Can we get a comparison of the old and new behavior?
How does it affect our installations?
Also, has the documentation for the installer been updated with the
new
behavior?

Before investing time in finding it, could it be possible to know
for
instance if this means the death of Admin Authentication (which
would
be good news)?
That's the extent of the Installer.app changes.
(Admin authentication now always requests a password.)
Cool.
