Iceberg installation fails when using scripts
by Beatrix Willius 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

Hi, taking first steps with Iceberg I have a problem: As soon as I add a script (both preflight and postflight) to my installer then I get the error message "Installation failed" when trying to install the package. Where can I get information why the installation failed? The scripts themselves are quite simple: Postflight: #/bin/sh theschedule=`defaults read com.mothsoftware.mailarchiverx Schedule_TimeFrame` thevalue='No Schedule' if [ "$theschedule"=="$thevalue" ]; then echo ''; else open /Applications/Mail\ Archiver\ X/Mail\ Archiver\ X.app/Contents/Mail\ Archiver\ Scheduler.app; fi Preflight: #/bin/sh thepid=`ps ux | awk '/Mail Archiver Scheduler/ && !/awk/ {print $2}'` kill $thepid I'm also a newbie in shell programming. The scripts themselves work. But do I need to do something special to the scripts? These are just text files that I gave execute permission.

Re: Version No. info for MetaPackage
by Stephane Sudre 08 Aug '12

Versioning is not supported for flat distributions. I guess the logic is that since distributions are not registered in the installation database, there's no point in versioning them. Regarding workarounds, it depends on whether you need to see the version or access it. If you just need to be able to see it and if for instance you have a custom welcome, a solution could be to add the version to the welcome. If you need to access it, a solution could be to add an empty payload and invisible package whose sole purpose is to provide a placeholder for the version of the distribution through its own version. This way it would be registered in the installation database. But I don't think this is a good idea.
