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 confused about the permissions that we set in PackageMaker in the Contents area. I have version 3.0.3. Well, permissions have always confused me so this is nothing new for me :) But what I'm wondering is what I should typically set the Owner and Group to be. By default it's usually set to "Owner: Andrew" (my account name) and "Group: staff". Somewhere in the PM documentation, I think it talked about it typically being set to Root / Admin, so that's what I've being doing. But I have a lot of installs to make, and I change the contents often, so I would prefer to just leave it at the default rather than constantly changing it to root/admin when that might not make any difference. I've done testing, and I can't see any problem leaving it at Andrew / Staff with all the 9 boxes checked, but then again I don't understand permissions very well... I just receive 1 warning during compile "Warning such and such file is world writable", which I just ignore and everything seems to work well. I have tested the Apply Recommendations button before, and I'm not entirely clear what this does so I just leave it alone. Generally I get more "warnings" after pressing the apply recommendations button. Also, my installs have hundreds, sometimes thousands of files in them so I can't be applying permissions to each file individually (not that I think I would need to)... All this stuff is a pain to do manually for each build you do, but if you create a shell script to fix up permissions and owner/group on all your files, as well as building the package (as I've found that the command-line tool for building packages also works better than the GUI build operation). And if you script fixing permissions/owner/group, you might as well carry on with scripting your app with xcodebuild and creating the folder that PackageMaker uses read it's contents.

Is there any way to do this? If you want the default install path, you could get the path of the .pkg and then extract it either from the plist or the PackageInfo file.
