How do you folks create kext installers?
Package Maker v3 is full of bugs and pretty much useless. I recommend
copying across an old copy from Tiger.
Is that right? I find v3 to be quite useful and a massive
improvement over earlier generations given its WYSIWIG editor, and
UI hooks into almost all functionality provided by the installation
packaging and install mechanism on Mac OS X.
Maybe you would be so kind as to expand on your broad, yet wholly
unspecific, criticism of the product for this list's edification?
You might also consider filing bugs on the product with Apple in an
effort to help improve the product.
I too have seen the same bugs: Package Maker forgetting paths to
things when you close the document (every single time), seemingly
random changes in what files it remembers. Forgetting permission
settings after a build, etc. I have long since returned to using
Iceberg. When the next version of PackageMaker comes out (3.1) I will
try again, but not until then.
These problems have been talked about on many lists before. I believe
that this list is one of them.
