Distribution script checking for files or package receipt?
by Shay Telfer 10 Jul '07

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi... I'd like my distribution script to check for either /System/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM or /Library/StartupItems/MySQL/MySQL * Alternatively, is there an 'approved' way to check for the receipt? Thanks, Shay /* js:pkmk:start */ function MySQLStartupItemInstalled() { return mysqlStartupPackageInstalled() ; } /* js:pkmk:end */ /* ******* DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ******* */ /* THE TEXT BELOW IS THE DEFINITION FOR THE REQUIREMENTS EDITOR */ (or alternatively, for the presence of a receipt of the MySQLStartupItem package). The questions are: * Why does the check for the files result in a Javascript error? (__choice_my_database_enabled returned error: (null)) /* js:pkmk:start */ function mysqlStartupPackageInstalled() { var result = false; try { result = system.files.fileExistsAtPath('/System/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM') == true || system.files.fileExistsAtPath('/Library/StartupItems/MySQL/MySQL') == true; } catch (e) {} if(!result) { my.result.type = 'Fatal'; my.result.title = 'MySQL Startup Package missing'; my.result.message = 'You must install the MySQL Startup Package from the MySQL installation'; } return result; } /* js:pkmk:end */ /* %%%Requirements Editor%%% { clauses = ( { anyOrAll = 1; connector = ""; msg = "You must install the MySQL Startup Package from the MySQL installation"; msgTitle = "MySQL Startup Package missing"; rules = ( { argumentField = ""; argumentStringField = ""; booleanType = true; choiceProperty = enabled; comboType = ""; comparator = "=="; mainChoice = "File Exists"; numberType = ""; pathField = "/System/Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM"; pathKeyKeyField = ""; pathKeyPathField = ""; specificChoice = choice0; stringType = ""; }, { argumentField = ""; argumentStringField = ""; booleanType = true; choiceProperty = enabled; comboType = ""; comparator = "=="; mainChoice = "File Exists"; numberType = ""; pathField = "/Library/StartupItems/MySQL/MySQL"; pathKeyKeyField = ""; pathKeyPathField = ""; specificChoice = choice0; stringType = ""; } ); title = "MySQL Startup Package installed"; type = 3; } ); functionName = MySQLStartupItemInstalled; } %%%Requirements Editor%%% */ -- =========================== Shay Telfer ================================ Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://newtonslore.com/ fnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

My postflight script will do some configuration work and write the configuration result to a log file. If some errors happen, the error info should be displayed in the summary panel. When I try this with PackageMaker, I only find the way to customize summary panel with a rtf file or embedded text,and I can only customize the "successfully installed" panel. I do not find how to customize the fail panel, and do not know how to make the installer display "fail install" summary panel. Does anyone know how to do this or it is impossible to do so with Packagemaker? - an installer plug-in: I would not bet a lot on the fact that you can have an Installer plugin pane displayed after the successful step.
