My metapackage uses preflight, postinstall, and postflight. meta preflight pkg-a postinstall pkg-b postinstall meta postinstall meta postflight pkg-a postflight pkg-b postflight Thanks! - Rick This email sent to rcohen.lists@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

A bit more information. My installer did run the postinstall for the metapackage the 2nd time I ran it. That is because my installer also deletes receipts in the postflight scripts, so the installer never "upgrades". Unfortunately, I used a bad naming convention for the packages and my package name matched another that was in my receipts folder. So, because one of the packages was an "upgrade", the metapackage postinstall never ran. I don't really understand that, but there it is. I'll be changing the names of my packages to something more unique, but I'd still like to understand the process a little better. I don't think that the Software Distribution guides (new or legacy) go into that much detail on this issue. cohen.rick@gmail.com wrote: I have a Installer metapackage with several other packages inside it. I'll call then pkg-a and pkg-b. On OS X 10.4, the various pre/post install/flight scripts are executed in this order: On OS X 10.3.9, the meta postinstall task is skipped. Any ideas why this might happen? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
