Hi All,


I'm trying to package firefox app with preflight script to kill the
app and trash the app before installing a fresh copy. The script works
pretty fine with the package.
When I try to add system requirements to the package it gets failed.

I'm pretty new to packaging . Below are my queries. Please address

1) When I include minimum available hard disk bytes on target , It
creates a Distribution.dist file inside the package. ( Not sure of the
reason.)
2) When I include memory requirement and include the preflight script
it works fine. ( For memory it does not create a .dist file)


I have pasted the details of the .dist file below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<installer-script minSpecVersion="1.000000"
authoringTool="com.apple.PackageMaker" authoringToolVersion="3.0.4"
authoringToolBuild="179">
   <title>Firefox</title>
   <options customize="never" allow-external-scripts="no"
rootVolumeOnly="true"/>
   <installation-check script="pm_install_check();"/>
   <volume-check script="pm_volume_check();"/>
   <script>function pm_volume_check() {
 if(!(my.target.availableKilobytes >= 200 * 1024 * 1024)) {
   my.result.title = 'Failure';
   my.result.message = 'Installation cannot proceed, as not all
requirements were met.';
   my.result.type = 'Fatal';
   return false;
 }
 return true;
}


function pm_install_check() {
 if(!(system.sysctl('hw.memsize') >= 512*1024*1024*1024)) {
   my.result.title = 'Memory Available';
   my.result.message = 'Installation cannot proceed, as not all
requirements were met.';
   my.result.type = 'Fatal';
   return false;
 }
 return true;
}
</script>

       <search id="pkmktoken81-0" type="script"

           <script>
function pkmktoken81_combined() {
       function pkmk_add_results_to_array(results, array) {
               for(i = 0; i &lt; results.length; i++)
                       array.push(results[i]);
       }
       var result = new Array();
       var search;
       search = my.search.results['pkmktoken81-1'];
       if(search) pkmk_add_results_to_array(search, result);
       return result;
}
</script>
       </search>
       <search type="script" id="pkmktoken81" script="pkmktoken81_final()">
           <script>
function pkmktoken81_final() {
       var combined = my.search.results['pkmktoken81-0'];
       return combined;
}
</script>
       </search>
   </locator>
</installer-script>


Please do let me know where I'm going wrong. I tried to modify the
.dist fie but to no avail.


Thanks,

Vishnu
