site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Sorry, we can not discuss unreleased software on this public mailing list. -pmb Hi Scott: I'm not fully sure of this. I recall from WWDC 06 that the Apple install engineers mentioned that the Packagemaker 3.0 features were open for discussion in the install mailing lists. Just wanted to reconfirm if this was still the case.

Packagemaker and Installer changes with Leopard ?

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AccvC1PGkkqdHZr+EduHiwAX8sPV4Q== Thread-topic: Packagemaker and Installer changes with Leopard ? User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.2.061213 Hi My queries are with respect to the Packagemaker and installer changes in Leopard. 1. What about Package receipts going away while using distributions projects in Leopard ? If this is still the plan, what is the new mechanism ? 2. What about the software update support that was demoed at WWDC? Is this feature documented and available for use currently ? 3. Is there/will there be uninstall support with Leopard while using Packagemaker ? 4. Any other changes ? Steven P.S. If Leopard Packagemaker/Installer changes are still too early to be discussed about in this forum, please let me know.. ----------------------------------------------- Robosoft Technologies - Come home to Technology _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… Hi, the other day, I wrote a message that I need to use "sudo" in my installer script - but apparently that isn't my problem. It appears that my installer script doesn't run at all. I named it preflight, and its executable bit is set. When I ctrl-click on my built package, and select "show package contents" and then go to Contents -> Resources, it's right there where it should be. However, it's icon is NOT that of a UNIX executable, it has the BBEdit icon (is this a problem?). I made the script's first order of business creating a directory on my desktop just to see if it's getting anywhere, and it does not do this. So it's not even running the script. Any ideas? Help is much appreciated as I am new at this. Thanks! Are you sure that the name is "preflight" and not "preflight.pl" or something like that? And have you looked at the permissions to make sure that the executable bit is set for everyone, rather than just for you? Also, do you have the "shebang" (#!/usr/bin/perl for example) line is the first line in the script, and that you have used complete paths to all executables (/bin/mkdir rather than mkdir)? Those are the usual problems. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
