I'm building an installer essentially by hand -- using an old Python
script called buildpkg.py. To create the Archive.bom file, it uses
"mkbom <sourcefolder> <bompath>", and to create the PAX archive, it
cd's to the <sourcefolder>, then uses "pax -w -f <archive-path> .",
then invokes "gzip" on the resulting file to compress it, winding up
with "Archive.pax.gz". Has been working fine for years. However,
when I use this on Leopard, and then run the resulting installer, I
get the following error messages:
pkgExtractor[79737]: BomFatalError - cpio read error: bad file format
pkgExtractor[79737]: Package Authoring Error: Package "UpLib-1.7.3.pkg" is using a deprecated archive format. Running in compatibility mode.
The installer still seems to work, but I'd like to make whatever
changes are necessary to make these messages disappear.
Bill
