You'll get the warnings even if you use '--no-recommend'. Here are your options:

1) Ignore the warnings.
2) Change the owner/group/mode of items on the disk to match what you are creating in your packageroot
3) Change the owner/group/mode of items in the packageroot to match the items on disk.


Which way you go on 2 vs 3 depends on which you consider having the "correct" owner/group/mode.
Packagemaker is doing the right thing in warning you that items installed from the package you are currently building will have different owner/group/mode than the items currently installed on disk. It's up to you to decide how to react to the warning.

Thanks for all the previous help with my packagemaker issues... I think I'm getting there. I'm just wondering about the warnings that PM throws at me. In particular - I get lots of things like this:

-- "Warning: Group ID 80 does not match 501 of root volume for "/ Applications/Auralia.app". Make sure.... " etc etc

I get lots and lots of those... for each file that is in the Auralia.app bundle. I do have an /Applications/Auralia.app, and there is a /Applications/Auralia.app in my temporary PackageRoot directory. It seems that packagemaker is comparing the permissions / owners etc of the installed app and those of the temporary package. My command to build the package is as follows:

/Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker -d Auralia.pmdoc -o Auralia.pkg -m -v

Can I tell packagemaker to somehow NOT do this compare?

Thanks,

Peter Lee
