I'm currently upgrading one of our products for Snow Leopard, and have run into some problems with PackageMaker. I create a set of six installer packages (.pkg), each of which installs a component of the product. Each of these packages installs correctly when used separately. I am then trying to combine these six packages into a single metapackage. (Minimum target is Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). This is where things all fall apart. First, when PackageMaker combines the files into a metapackage, the owners and groups are for the components are being modified (Not a good thing for kernel extensions and printer drivers). However, since I added the subpackages to the metapackage using "Add Package Reference", there is nowhere for me to edit the users and groups. Second, If I add the subpackages to the metapackage using drag and drop, everything works fine until I save and re-open the .pmdoc. At that point, PackageMaker rearranges the files, and separates the subpackages from their choices, which results in a broken and useless .pmdoc. (Note that PackageMaker on 10.5 doesn't have this problem, but I still am unable to get it to set users and groups correctly.) Can anyone shed some light on this? It doesn't seem as though I'm doing anything particularly out of the ordinary here, so I would have expected this to all have just worked. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
