installing in the user's home directory?


  • Subject: installing in the user's home directory?
  • From: Rich Morin <email@hidden>

I'm trying to use PackageMaker to create an installer
that unpacks a directory tree into a sub-directory of
the user's home directory.

I'd like the permissions and ownership to be "normal"
(eg, allow the user to read and write files, but not
everyone on the system).  So, the usual advice about
setting things to root/admin isn't really appropriate
and I certainly don't want things to be set to MY uid
on someone else's machine.

Suggestions?
