building PMDOC with multiple outputs from command line
by Ivan A. Vasilyev 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Hi I have an issue with PackageMaker3. I have a PM3 project for Distribution package (targeting OS X 10.5 and later) which includes one regular package (built from files in local file system) and one http-based pre-built package (Package Reference). When I build the project from the GUI app, the app asks me to select destination folder (screenshot, http://yadi.sk/d/gWn7GuwQesnc) as there are several packages to be output: one *.pkg for the Distribution package and one flat *.pkg re-built from referenced package which will go to http server. Exactly what I need. But I need to automate the build process and when I feed PMDOC to PM command line tool (PackageMaker -v -d ./in/PackageBuilder.pmdoc) it builds the packages (according to verbose logging) but does not save them anywhere! It seems there is no command line option to specify output FOLDER for several outputs. The "-o" option only works for specific files and does not allow to specify folder as an argument. I know PM should place output next to the *.pmdoc by default, but that does not happen. Does anyone know how can I build *.pmdoc with MULTIPLE outputs from command line? Is it possible at all? Am I missing something? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. TIA Ivan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

It could be the intermediate certificate(s) is/are already integrated in Mountain Lion (since it's the official version that supports Gatekeeper but I don't have a clean install OS X 10.8 system to verify this claim). Or if it was your development system, then you may have installed the intermediate certificate yourself.

Hi Stephane, ... made with PackageMaker when signing it for Gatekeeper (so that required intermediate certificates get embedded). As I wrote in another thread (Signing of packages and installation failures) I signed packages with PackageMaker and then tested them on ML with spctl tool. The packages were successfully accepted. How did spctl accept packages without intermediate certificates ? It is still not clear. Thanks, Alexander man productsign You have to use the productsign command line tool to sign a package made with PackageMaker when signing it for Gatekeeper (so that required intermediate certificates get embedded). The command line is easy to use. The only inconvenience somehow (in my opinion) is that you have to use a different file name for the output. http://s.sudre.free.fr/Stuff/Installer/Unreleased_Notes/10.8_Gatekeeper.html Hi, Does anyone know where I can find some good documentation on how to sign packages? I'm using PackageMaker 3.0.3. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Hi Stephane, Got it, thank you. Best regards, Alexander Hi ALL, [...] PackageMaker signing process does not embed the intermediate certificates in the flat distribution/package. productsign does. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Is it the valid approach or I should do something else? When an updater does not include all the original files, using a different identifier is the recommended way to proceed AFAIK. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
