hi,

thx for your answer, though, i read the stackoverflow thread, too. ;)
i'm not sure if that explains the different behavior on my two 10.7 machines which both have exactly the same packagemaker version, the same payload with the same permissions/owner group set before compressing them to archive during package creation process.

i noticed, there is a "--no-recommend" flag i can use, which is described as follows

"If specified, packagemaker will not apply recommended permissions to package contents."

in the packagemaker man page. what are the recommended permissions and what are the criteria for setting those? they obviously differ under certain circumstances (build environment? destination folder?).

of course, i could reset permissions in a postflight/install script, but i think this would be more a workaround than a clean solution. i was just wondering why this worked in 10.6 and does not work on some of my 10.7 machines.

best,
dennis

any ideas? thx in advance...


Answered at StackOverflow - it's probably the usual problem that you have to set the permissions correctly before adding the payload to PackageMaker, since it tends to ignore what you specify when building.
