Now I am not entirely sure what all of those numbers are, but I have
figured out (or I think I have) that the first number (100775) is
the permissions for the file, and the second (0/115587243) is the
UID/GID. The GID is correct. It is so high because it is actually an
active directory group.
So, does anyone have any idea why the gid on the installed
application is showing up as something different? Is there a maximum
gid that the Package Maker can deal with?
Unfortunately, the CPIO file format that the installer uses for the
archive is limited to 16 bits, with a maxiumum UID or GID of 65535.
Usually this isn't a problem because very few installer packages need
to set explicit uid/gid values that aren't standard system values.
You'll need to use a postinstall script to chgrp the file after extraction.
This is tracked by radar bug:
<radar:3999229> installer archives (CPIO) have only 16 bits for UID
and GID fields
