When the initial dialog came up, did you select 10.4 o 10.3, depending on what version you need? I¹d guess you made one of the new flat-file pkg files, which don¹t work anywhere but 10.5 and up.

RE: Kexts and the most current version of PackageMaker

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thread-index: AcjtyeKYag8Q1KJhRnC0Msy+n6a1VAAANPIg Thread-topic: Kexts and the most current version of PackageMaker I still use PackageMaker and had to add a postflight script to force the permissions. Run as root, of course. Every now and then, I still get the "won't load" message from the kext manager. I think this happens when that guy kicks in before the postflight script runs. Just for completeness, I added a postinstall action to enable the driver. In all, I've never seen a case where the driver wasn't activated by the time the installation is done.

Are you setting the permissions from within Iceberg? Or are you trying to get them right on the file before bringing it in? And if you just have a single bundle or folder and grab just the top piece of it and assign a setting to it, everything else underneath will get settings based on that. I especially like the way Iceberg does it because I can grab the root of my .app, and it will also take along new files in my bundle (or handle deletions just fine).

I setup the permissions of the files in PM, only to load the file later and see that they're all changed back to $ME:admin with 700 privs. It's quite frustrating. If I change the permissions of the source files then PM complains about the privs when trying to build. What am I missing? I could use a script with SUDO but I'd like a "cleaner" solution.

It looks like it's not quite ready for prime time (PM 3). Thanks for the offer.

Are you using PackageMaker 2.0 (that came with Tiger) or PM 3 (Leopard)? I still use PM 2 because I find it has fewer annoyances than PM 3. Also, I find it hard to use the phrase "a cleaner solution" in the same sentence with "PackageMaker" :-) ----- Original Message ---- This email sent to bcbuilderboy(a)yahoo.com This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
