- Thread-topic: Kexts and the most current version of PackageMaker
I still use PackageMaker and had to add a postflight script to force the
permissions. Run as root, of course.
Every now and then, I still get the "won't load" message from the kext
manager. I think this happens when that guy kicks in before the
postflight script runs.
Just for completeness, I added a postinstall action to enable the
driver. In all, I've never seen a case where the driver wasn't activated
by the time the installation is done.

Kexts historically need all of their contents set to the proper
permissions otherwise the kernel will blech when it tries to match
against a device. I've set the top-most level of the kext (which is
really just a bundle) to the proper permissions, but the underlying
content (Contents/*) don't get the proper permissions. I'm going to
stick with a BASH script for the time being, but I'm hoping to
eventually figure out (or file enough RADARs) PackageMaker 3 to
achieve the results I want.
