So, I started with a new startup company and I'm the only Mac
Engineer. That means I now have to build my own installers. Log time
Mac developer, new to PackageMaker.
What I want to do is to use the PackageMaker GUI to setup a pmdoc file
that I can call from a shell script to package up our product.
I'm having several issues. The biggest one is consistency. It seems
that every installer I build (currently building from the GUI) behaves
differently. So far I can't nail down specifics. But I'd like to get a
feel for the stability of this version of PackageMaker before I go nuts.
Two issues that I'm having problems with are...
1) Setting Owner/Group/Mode. I want to set Owner to root and Group to
Admin and one directory in the app need write access for everyone. The
permissions in the app are already set as I need them but the Owner/
Group is not. It seems that sometimes the installer does what I want
and sometimes it does not.
2) I have a Postinstall Action that is suppose to launch the
application when the installer is done. (I'd also like the installer
to quit post install as well) I've seen it work a couple of times but
usually nothing happens.
I am using the PackageMakers Users Guide as my reference.
Thanks for any help and pointer in the right direction,
Paul FitzGerald
