Testing for downgrade in Distribution Scripts

  • Thread-topic: Testing for downgrade in Distribution Scripts

Ok. I have a Distribution Script that among other things will install
Quicktime 7.1.3 if the system is > 10.4 and passes the following test:

! my.target.receiptForIdentifier('com.apple.pkg.QuickTime713')

This works ok, but I'm assuming that it will cause problems once a machine
has been upgraded to Quicktime 7.1.4. How do I update this to also ensure
that it is an upgrade (or to disallow downgrades)?

I think it has something to do with choices.*.packageUpgradeAction, but I'm
not sure how to use it.

I apologize if this has been covered before, I have been unable to search
the archived reliably for 2 days now.

Thanks,
Sean
