Hi people,
I'm trying to make PackageMaker add 3 folders to a package. Not
one "root" folder, but 3 folders, each within the root.
This is because I want to develop from and create installers from
the same directory. This helps speed up my development process,
and reduce mistakes.
If I need to manually copy files around everytime I make a
release, this introduces human error and also takes more time and
energy. This means I'll be more reluctant to release so regularly.
So is there anyway I can add just 3 folders? Like this:
Parent
happy.app
sourcecode.rbp
folder1ThatIWantIgnored
folder2ThatIWantIgnored
folder3ThatIWantIgnored
DataBanksThatINeedForInstall
ToolsThatINeedForInstall
AFile.txt
ManyMoreFiles.whatever
Out of all of those, I just want "happy.app", "DataBanks", and
"Tools" in my package.
How can I make packagemaker do this?
I tried making a "Release" folder, and putting 3 aliases into
there, but that didn't work. Funnily enough PackageMaker put the
aliases themselves and not the things pointed to by the alias into
the package! I tried symlinks, same problem :(
It's not "funnily", it's cleverly.
I'm not sure to understand the reason why you can't have a shell
script copy the folders to a "root" folder since you probably need
to set the correct permissions anyway.
Because I haven't done it before?
Also... how do I enter these scripts? I can't find a place for them
in PackageMaker. Are they 10.4 distribution only?
Since there are no such things as hard links for folders on Mac OS
X, these are the only solutions I can think of.
Thanks.
