Currently I'm using a bash script as well for the "functional" version, but I wanted to try my hand at PM 3 for some of the conditional branching. It looks like it's not quite ready for prime time (PM 3). Thanks for the offer.

We install a kext with our product but I have found that the only way to do it, that works every time, is with a postflight script (I use a BASH script).

Are you using PackageMaker 2.0 (that came with Tiger) or PM 3 (Leopard)? I still use PM 2 because I find it has fewer annoyances than PM 3. Also, I find it hard to use the phrase "a cleaner solution" in the same sentence with "PackageMaker" :-)

I will be glad to share my script if that helps.

Can anyone detail how to properly setup a packagemaker file such that
it will remember how to properly install kexts? I setup the
permissions of the files in PM, only to load the file later and see
that they're all changed back to $ME:admin with 700 privs. It's quite
frustrating. If I change the permissions of the source files then PM
complains about the privs when trying to build. What am I missing? I
could use a script with SUDO but I'd like a "cleaner" solution.

Cheers
Rob
