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.… I'm writing a plugin for Installer with additional screen (page). Newest installer package is no longer a bundle (?) like in previous versions and I can't add "Plugins" directory in it like usual. Although using flat editor I can add this directory and my plugin to it, my screen does not appear. Plugin is tested and seems to work with old style Installer bundle. I can't find any info about changes in newest version. Plugins are obsolete? Any directions? This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

The files in the package do not have the same permissions as what is set in PM. Nor do they match what is in the package source directories. They should be: -r--r--r-- But are -rw-rw-r-- For the most part the files are data files that nobody should be even looking at. Nobody needs to be able to write to them, that is for certain. If it matters, every directory in the path as drwxrwxr-x > > Do I really have to reset them in my post install/upgrade script? > > No. >

After installation one of the packages has the expected permissions. The other one does not. Any idea why they would be different and how I can force them to be what I want? First, are you sure the permissions are correct in your package (including on all the container folders, like /Application or whereever your files get installed). Second, and this is what got me as well, is that building using the PackageMaker GUI, it does a verification/fix step that helpfully 'fixes' permissions to what it thinks they should be (which wasn't correct for the files I was installing in /Library/LaunchDaemons). To work around the GUI build problem, someone on this list helpfully told me that I needed to build the package from the command line, with permissions verification turned off, like this: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/ PackageMaker --no-recommend <more options here> This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
