On Tiger, it works as expected. On Leopard, after accepting the license agreement, the left menu shows it jumping directly past Target to my plugin, but the UI doesn't change from the license agreement. Presumably it's jumping past the Target page (since there is no reason to pick a volume - though this step is there on Tiger) but it doesn't kick in the UI for my custom plugin. If I disable "root volume only" then I get the Target page and then my plugin works as expected. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

Upgrading with a metapackage in PackageMaker

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 Scott, I did look at PackageMaker to see how it worked. It is obvious how to internationalize the Introduction, readme, and license. Select the language and the file to use. I did not see any way for me to customize the description for a package that is displayed as part of a distribution. I'm trying to set the text that is displayed when a custom install is used and an item is selected. This is currently done in my distribution.dist file like this: description="Installs the TSM command line tools. This includes the TSM Command Line Client, the TSM Scheduler Daemon, and support files." When I build a package, I do use pmdoc files but drive it from the command line. I use a shell script to move the files around and set permissions on the package contents in a staging directory. Once thas is done, I use packagemaker and the pmdoc file to create the packages. With version 2.1.1, when you work with a distribution project, you can edit the localizations for the description. But since you say it is obvious to localize the readme, etc., it probably means you're using version 3. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
