Packages - installing to current user's home directory
by Hanspeter Harpf 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Dear all, I just created with the Packages Installer a main installer which installs the application to the application folder and everything works fine. Now I need to install in addition some files into the current user's home directory (a.k.a. ˜/). Therefore I created based on the following guide (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/Q&A_3.html) a second installer (*.pkg). I tried now to integrate that „second“ installer into my main installer and it seems that everything works fine but the files do not be installed into the current user's home directory. To do so I used this guide (https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/11/03/re-packaging-installer-package…) to integrate my second installer into the main installer. I could see that this is done with a RAW Package. So my question is if anyone has some hints why it doesn’t work? Thank you very much for any comment on this issue!

How do you codesign a Packages .pkg?
by Stephen Kay 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

I'm replacing a VICE X installer with Packages, I have the thing pretty much created and working, it's a flat package .pkg - but can this even be code-signed? I used to codesign the VICE Installer.app with my "Developer ID Application" and it worked just fine (it was an app, after all). Now, I'm trying the same procedures on the Installer.pkg and getting weird results, such as it says it's codesigned on the machine I did it on, but if I move it to another machine it isn't there, or not all of it. If I upload it and download it as a test (on a .dmg), it fails GateKeeper and says its not signed, but verifying it on the machine it was done on shows that it is? Does this need to be a .mpkg in order for it to work? Or some other thing? (The delivery mechanism is a .dmg, that has the Installer.pkg on it...)

This can be done by attaching a post-installation script to the bundle of the application in the payload and using the $2 parameter (which is the location of the application). What can be done in the script is: - do nothing if the installation is not done via the UI: -> check the COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL en var. - open the folder %2/.. using the current user -> http://s.sudre.free.fr/Stuff/Installer/Installation_Scripts/InstallationScr… -if necessary, it might be possible to only do this on the first installation but I don't remember whether the following solution works as-is for bundle scripts: http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/Q&A_5.html To attach the script to the app bundle: http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/documentation/Packages/en/Package_Payload.h… _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
