Greetings, Eli,
Well, I'll be! Working with PM from the command line appears to open
up a whole new world of options, both productivity-oriented and
convenience-oriented. I very much appreciate your pointing out that
parameter; it appears to solve the issue that I am experiencing. I
suppose I should file a bug.
Thank you very much for your time, Eli!
Cheers,
Andrew

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?
Have you tried building from the command line using:
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/
PackageMaker --no-recommend
While I haven't built an installer that puts things in /Users/
Shared/, this has fixed the problem I had with PackageMaker using
incorrect permissions for files in /Library/LaunchAgents.
Eli
