site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com You could create a metapackage that contains the Lion-specific package and the SL-specific package; the dist script could then enable the correct subpackage and disable the incorrect subpackage. You'd still need to create two packages, but the user would not have to be sure to pair the correct package with the correct OS. -Greg On Oct 24, 2011, at 2:06 PM, Michele Corum wrote: > I have an installer that requires a hidden script and a source folder to be > copied to a local folder (in this case /tmp) then given the command (via > Terminal or via script) "sudo ./scriptname" for the application to install > correctly. > > In Snow Leopard, the UID & GID for /tmp are root:admin > > In Lion, the UID & GID for /tmp are root:wheel > > When I set the permissions to root:admin, run the package on Snow Leopard, > the installer runs and installs the application as expected.

Is it possible to have 1 package to install on both Snow Leopard and Lion? If so, how would I accomplish this?

Because installer scripts don't inherit the environment, installer sets a custom one for them with only a few necessary variables (e.g. COMMANDLINE_INSTALL, PATH, etc). -- Per Olofsson System Administrator, ITS, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
