Hi guys,
In fact during few weeks I try switch our Valentina Server installer to new
PackageMaker 3.0 = 3and I should say I almost have no hair on my head!!!
I have spend totally may be 5 working days, and I cannot solve this simple
task which have work in old PackageMaker. I always get some STRANGE ISSUE
for built packages.
* Sometimes permissions of files do not correspond to what I have specify in
the CONTENTS tab panel. After close/open of .mpdoc permissions can differ
from what I have specify 2 minutes ago.
Okay, after second fix manually, it seems PM remember this correctly.
* I have try and old way two packages linked by one metapackage. Full
nightmare. I have specify to each package its install path. And just drag
and drop them into metapackage. Wow, surprise. This installs packages right
into ROOT. "Great. Very natural :-("
when I have try remove paths from sub-packages and specify them in top
metapackage, I also did have odd things with permissions. Wow, I see
that top metapackage also allow me specify permissions for files of
sub-packages. And even worse -- it show permissions OTHER then
I just only have specify for sub-package itself.
Great wonder :-(
* Sometimes NAME of packages stored in Receipts folder do not correspond to
signature of package I specify. For example, I specify
package ident: com.paradigmasoft.vserver_office_startupitems.pkg
And for second
com.paradigmasoft.vserver_office.pkg
But into Receipts it go just as
startupitems.pkg
vserveroffice.pkg <<<< yes without underscore "_"
How this can be??? I have check XML files, they contain MY names.
Why into Receipts folder go this file names ???
May be it somehow go from my previous attempts?
But where is stored this info to cleanup It then ?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
P.S. Again and Again I want say:
why nobody have made something as simple/effective/flexible
as InnoSetup installer maker for Windows ?!
