Hi all,
I've just started using Iceberg, and have a question about file
permissions. I need the group and owner permissions to be
maintained when installing, but when I look at the info for a file
that I've added, while the permissions look correct, it states that
the owner is "Howard" (me). Is this ok, or is there a specific
owner selection I should choose that would specify "whoever's the
current owner on the destination machine"?
I believe the 'usual' way to make sure permission/user information is
correct for making packages is to script creating a 'source' folder,
which holds the folder structure of where you want the files
installed, and have the script set the proper info on the files in
those folders.
Now, it's been quite some time since I looked at Iceberg (vs using
PackageMaker), but I found this to work well for me, for the non-
relocatable packages I've made that need admin permission to install.
It make need to be done differently if you are installing into the
user's home folder or if the package can be installed on other volumes.
Eli
