Is it possible to change the installer reciept names which are
generated by Package Maker when building a distribution package?
I have a package which installs the user's guide, named "UserGuide-
EN". The package identifier that was created by Package Maker for it
was "com.softarch.flashauthority.userguideen.pkg".
The reciept that is created when the package is installed is
"userguideen.pkg", which seems a bit too "vanilla".
I'd like my reciepts to use the entire package identifier (i.e.
com.softarch.flashauthority.userguideen.pkg) so that when my
uninstaller deletes them, it knows it's getting the right one.
Any suggestions?
Change the name of your package?
"userguideen.pkg" is probably the name of your package.
From what I can see, there is no package name as such, at least not
one that's editable.
Looking inside the metapackage, there is indeed a package named
userguideen.pkg.
I tried changing com.softarch.flashauthority.userguideen.pkg to
comsoftarchflashauthorityuserguideen.pkg, to see if that would solve
the problem. It would appear that the package identifier is not being
used to generate the package name (which seems a bit counterintuitive
- what's it for, if not the name?)
So, I'm guessing that PackageMaker is generating its package names
using the last segment of the install path, which would be bad,
because it doesn't associate a namespace with it.
Thanks for your time,
