After doing some maintenance on my computer I noticed that simple
shell scripts are now working (echo commands, etc) in packages - maybe
those 3 developer packages needed some housekeeping...
However, some of my other postinstall scripts don't execute (which I
never tried before anyways); most of these write to user defaults, for
example, registering Transmit:
-----
## Licensing Transmit
defaults write com.panic.Transmit3 SerialNumber XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
-----
What are the known limits to postinstall scripts?
Thanks,
jeremy

Since I got asked (more than once) about using postUPPGRADE scripts
(not just postinstall), I assumed there was some bug in
packagemaker that mean it was supporting those as a workaround for
not supporting postINSTALL scripts.
So, I had specified a postinstall script (per 10.5 - normal) as
well as a directory containing a scripts "postupgrade". Of course,
I tried builgind and installing packages with and without that
option - nothing seemed to work.
If you can provide a sample package illustrating the issue, this can
help.
As far as I can tell (from the documentation), postupgrade script are
not supported by the FLAT package format. Adding one to the resources
would not help.
