Hi All,
I've got a rather big packagemaker installer project.
Whenever I load the project into package maker the permissions of the
references to the files to be installed are re-set. And I have to
manually step through and apply recommendations (since I have
corrected the permission on my installation). Not only is this really
tedious and error prone it also sometime just don't set the correct
permissions in the install package. After installing (on a clean
machine) the permissions are still messed up.
1. How can I workaround the permission issue? (Do I need to include a
postflight script correcting this?)
2. How do I provide an uninstaller?
3. Where are the information stored, about which software and the
corresponding versions are installed? So the OSX installer knows when
to indicate "upgrade"?
4. Actually I generally tend to use OS provided technologies, for many
reasons, but should I better use another install maker? packagemaker
seems to be very buggy, it often crashes (most likely after a lengthy
attempt to reset the permissions, but any other occasion seems to be
welcome).
5. Why is packagemaker so extremely slow? Apple invented the
"Instruments"? Are your developer actually using this? What are your
future plans with packagemaker and which installer builder are using
you internally?
6. The dependency logic for the choices seems completely broken. Only
very basic logic operations do work. Any time frame for a fix?
Thanks and best regards,
Hagen.
