I am using the command line utility to build and run the package from package maker. But i am facing a problem with this. When i open the .pmdoc file, i found the "relocatable" check box is checked every time. So i have to uncheck all checkboxes , save .pmdoc file and run command to build the package every time. I want to turned off all checkboxes by default when i open the .pmdoc file. So that there is no need to uncheck all check boxes manually and resave the .pmdoc file .How can i solve this problem. 1) You may be able to get the setting to stick by using an absolute path to the source root for the contents. Some of the PackageMaker 3 bugs related to settings in the UI being lost only occur when using a relative path. 2) You may be able to override the behaviour after building the installer. Bill Coderre posted some interesting suggestions last year to work-around this problem. Unfortunately I failed to find his original post, but here is a fragment of the perl I am currently using for building installers. My recollection is that relocatable is implemented in the generated package using IFPkgPathMappings. This code runs after generating the package, to undo the effects of "Allows relocation". # Remove "Allows relocation" on application. my $plainInfo = "$fullSandpitPath/$outputName/Contents/Info"; system "defaults", "delete", $plainInfo, "IFPkgPathMappings"; my $naughtyFile = "$fullSandpitPath/$outputName/Contents/ Resources/TokenDefinitions.plist"; system "rm", "-rf", $naughtyFile; This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
