Permissions Broken in PackageMaker 3

Hi, all,

Has anyone had any luck using custom--or even just non-root-- permissions in PackageMaker 3 (I'm using 3.0.3)? I'm installing part of my installation to /Users/Shared, so I don't want "root:wheel" permissions, lest a user be unable to delete what gets installed. Every time that I build my installer--which can be either a 10.4- compatible or 10.5-compatible installer, any default or custom permissions get written over.

I posted to this mailing list awhile back about this, but I believe that I may have been a little less clear and a little less general than I'm being now. Is this a known bug in PM3? Is there a workaround? It seems to me that there's absolutely no way to install to /Users/Shared using PackageMaker 3 unless I want to set permissions manually with a script afterwards, which seems somewhat backwards when PackageMaker should be setting permissions for me.

Any ideas, anyone?

Cheers,
	Andrew
