Ah, thank you very much. I was looking for a log file with my package name,
or something derived from it, so I hadn't spotted it.
So my next question is how to rename that file to something less generic
that won't get overwritten or appended to by the next installer that the
user runs.
Is there a plist setting for the installer log name? Can I rename it in my
postflight script? (The installer goes on writing to it after postflight
exists, so that sounds a bit dodgy...)
This is basically a system log file, so you don't want to rename it or
remove it.
If you want to save a copy, then save a copy... Have a script do 'cp
/var/log/install.log <wherever you want to put it>'
It does roll over when it hits 1MB, so you definitely want to save it
off if you need to refer to it later.
