To do this, select the little drop down gear menu next to the "Install:" field in the roots panel. The choices are "Absolute" and "Relative to Project". Choosing "Absolute" should fix the issue."

Packages from a network share

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AciWdw8bz6laIGgJS/qKxUtjgFxgIg== Thread-topic: Packages from a network share Ok, I think I have seen this mentioned before, but thought I would bring it up again.. 10.4.11 server (but this goes way back) over AFP, I have a volume shared...called Images. On that share, I have a folder called packages and in that folder I have all my packages. In the past, in order to make packages Double clickable to install from the network share, I had to add READ to EVERYONE. Now in 10.4 that works, in 10.5 the behaviour is different. In 10.5 you get that same message regardless. Does anyone know of a proper configuration that allows you to double click on a package, on a network volume (set as read only) that will allow you to install the package directly, that works from 10.4 AND 10.5? Should I switch from POSIX permissions to an ACL combination maybe? As long as it works from command line, all my imaging scripts work so I am not totally dead, it is just an inconvenience that when you want to install a few hundred meg package, to have to download it first. -Mike ________________________________________________ Michael Perbix Lower Merion School District Network Technician _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

PackageMaker 3.0.1 downloading packages from a web page/url
by Bryan S. Lee 04 Apr '08

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AciWVWpO2eI0ZM/n5kug1VmUWSYL+g== Thread-topic: PackageMaker 3.0.1 downloading packages from a web page/url User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.1.0.080305 Has anyone attempted having packages pull from a url rather than store them in the distribution package? I've noticed the option when building the package, and have tried it, but keep getting an error when it goes to download. The smaller package runs fine, and the distribution package will build and pull a copy of the smaller package when it builds, but when I run the distribution package it errors saying that it can't download the file/package. I'm discovering that there is NO documentation for this version of Packmaker and am feeling my way through it. Any help is appreciated. -- Bryan Lee _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
