I need to pass some information from an installer plugin to a
postinstall script. I tried using setenv() in my willExitPane: method,
but the variable is empty when read in the postinstall script.
Is there another way to do this?
Bin there, done that (no t-shirt though).
The only way to do this (that I could figure out) was to write my
data to a temporary file with a known name and path and read that
file in the script.
I chose to use a file named with a UUID (that I genererated once
using uuidgen(1) and hard-coded into the plugin and the script) in /
tmp to avoid naming conflicts. My plugin and script try to make sure
the temporary file is deleted after I'm done with it. But if not the
OS should handle that case sometime in the future.
