site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Check your version of PackageMaker. This was an issue with the version of the dev tools that came out before the iPhone version of the dev tools, and I believe it was fixed both in that version and subsequent non-iPhone dev tool releases. That being said, we've found the recommendations to be often not what we want and our package creation scripts always use --no-recommend.

When using PackageMaker from the command line, the "--no-recommend" option stops this behavior.

Am I crazy or does PackageMaker 3.0.3 go out of it's way to apply incorrect permissions on files that go into /Library/LaunchDaemons/?
For launchctl to work, permissions need to be 644, but PackageMaker installs them as 664.
I've spent the time to create a source folder with the permissions I want for my files, and with Apple's permissions on their folders.
When I get PackageMaker to build the package, it spends literally 5 minutes (as my package has a lot of files) "fixing" permissions to either be the same and/or to be incorrect.
Is there some way to get PackageMaker to skip this "fixing" step?
As a workaround, I've added a postinstall script that changes the permissions back, then calls launchctl to load the daemon.
