In adapting our distribution materials to the Leopard tools, I've
had a few frustrating experiences. One involved having an app
bundle get stashed in an unexpected location if "allow relocation"
was checked for the component (see separate email). Another is that
it seems that the version number for an app bundle shown in the
Finder is not updated, even if the bundle actually is upgraded to a
higher version by the installer.
I lost some time wondering why, after repeated invocations of a new
installer package, the version of my app in /Applications was still
at 1.6.4. For a while, this was because the installer was
upgrading some obscure development copy of the app, rather than the
copy in the default /Applications folder. After fixing this and
running the installer again, I ran the (supposedly v1.6.4 app) and
found that it was actually the updated version (1.6.5). This was
confirmed in the About panel and other places where the version can
be inspected in the app. In fact using 'grep' inside the bundle
confirmed there was absolutely no instance of the text '1.6.4'
anywhere inside the bundle.
Restarting the Finder caused the version number to update to the
correct value. Is this a known bug? (will file if confirmed I'm
not screwing something up)
Even if it's a known one (someone reported such an issue on this list
some days ago), file a bug report against it.
