Yes I did look into the log, It's quiet strange that the log shows it has an error while executing the script. However without the requirement added the preflight script works fine. Any suggestions?

FireFox 12 Packaging

Hi All, We are trying to package Firefox using packageaker. We have included preflight script to kill the app before installing the pkg. The pkg works great with the script, however when we try to add requirements like harddisk space and memory, the pkg builds without any errors. When the pkg is ready to get installed at the last stage it says, there were errors while installing the software. However when we remove the requirements and build the pkg it works fine. Kindly suggest. Thanks, Vishnu _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Re: Install App reference to the Dock

It is _technically_ possible. Then opinions then diverge on the pertinence of doing it. You can check the mailing-list archive of this year for a thread regarding this and a list of solutions. 2 of the solutions: - dockutil: https://github.com/kcrawford/dockutil - emmett: but the server hosting it is currently down.

If you need to keep the packages outside of the distribution, then yes, it can lead to signing conflict issues. But at the same time, having the packages signed and the distribution not, is not useful from a signing point of view. I've seen the error log you provided in the past and performing the install later again did not bring back the issue. It could possibly be a bug in the Installation framework/tools which is triggered more easily when you run a series of installer actions. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
