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
