site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Thanks - sometimes it's hard to know whether I'm failing to find a feature that exists, or whether the feature doesn't exist at all :) In this case overwriting user entered values is not a problem, so I'll probably go with the last idea you mentioned: Install with the package into /tmp or something, and then copy it out using a bash script… -Robin On Sep 21, 2011, at 6:08 PM, Colin Cornaby wrote: > A post flight script is generally the best way to handle this, either using defaults write from a script, or a tool written in Foundation/Cocoa. > > You could do other things like copying a plist into place from a post flight, but you risk over writing user entered values. > > Sent from my iPad > > On Sep 21, 2011, at 3:02 PM, Robin Miller <robincello(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm fairly new to packaging, and have been trying to use Stephane Sudre's Packages app to get some software ready for deployment to a number of machines at work. >> >> I would like the package installer to place a .plist file in the ~/Library/Preferences folder for the current user as well as for all other users on the computer.

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com A post flight script is generally the best way to handle this, either using defaults write from a script, or a tool written in Foundation/Cocoa. You could do other things like copying a plist into place from a post flight, but you risk over writing user entered values.

Newbie using Packages.app - place files in User libraries?
by Robin Miller 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com Hi, I'm fairly new to packaging, and have been trying to use Stephane Sudre's Packages app to get some software ready for deployment to a number of machines at work. I would like the package installer to place a .plist file in the ~/Library/Preferences folder for the current user as well as for all other users on the computer. Does this require some post flight scripting or is there a more 'built in' way to handle this (presumably) common situation?

Re: Adding KeepAlive in LauchDaemon plist

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com I am by no means an expert, but have you tried this: <key>Program</key> <array> <string>/usr/local/encase/Encase</string> </array> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>start</string> </array> …which gives launchd a clue as to which binary it needs to keep alive. -Christian On Tue, September 20, 2011 6:20 am, Karthikeyan M wrote: Hi, I am trying to create a Launch Daemon for EnCase binary file.
