Re: How to tell Packages to avoid downgrades?
by Stephane Sudre 31 Jul '13

If you're using a distribution, you could attach a custom JavaScript requirement to a choice that represents a package. It would look something like function preventDowngrade() { if (choices.installer_choice_X. packageUgradeAction== downgrade) return false; return true; } Now, to figure out what X should be, you just need to know that the choices id created by Packages are based on their indentations. So if you have the following choice hierarchy group choice A choice B choice C The IDs will be: installer_choice_1 installer_choice_1_1 installer_choice_1_2 installer_choice_2 On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 10:14 AM, Matthias Schroeder <Matthias.Schroder(a)cern.ch> wrote: > Dear all, > > I wanted to use Packages to build flat packages and distributions.

It's a "bug" in Installer.app so filing a bug report on http://bugreporter.apple.com is the best option. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

When I use silent install, Is "silent install" using the installer command line tool? Because, if that's the case, AFAIK, your plugins are not loaded then. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
