Hi, all,
Pulling my hair out over this. I have a package (.pmdoc) for Leopard
created under PackageMaker with the iPhone SDK/Xcode 3.1.2. I am
trying to install various files in a hierarchy: some to /usr/bin,
another to /private/etc, and a couple of empty directories, which need
to be writable, to /Users/Shared.
Here's the kicker: when PackageMaker creates its package, the
directories for /Users/Shared get processed, along with everything
else, into root/wheel user/group settings, disregarding my settings
from before I clicked "Build" or "Build and Run."
I saw this posting in the archives: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2007/Dec/msg00042.html
>, which makes it look to me as though this issue remains to be
fixed. With my greatest apologies for being dense, does the switch
from relative to absolute paths, which this posting mentions, entail
choosing "Absolute" from the gear pop-up button next to the
Destination text field in the package configuration view? Are there
any other steps involved? Has anyone else grappled with this?
Thank you for your time!
Best,
Andrew
