However, I built a MetaPackage with NoAuthorization (couldn't find out how to adjust the authorization in the project GUI), that includes packages with RootAuthorization, and I get Installer log warnings about NoAuthorization being promoted to RootAuthorization for the MetaPackage. I don't know how to adjust the authorization from the MetaPackage project GUI, and I'm reluctant to manually hack keys unless I find out that this is the suggested workaround. Also, I'm not able to use Distributions, since there is a "Missing identifier field for SubPackage.pkg" bug preventing me from building Distributions via the command line (see below thread). http://lists.apple.com/archives/Installer-dev/2006/Sep/msg00057.html Thanks, Alex -----Original Message----- From: Stéphane Sudre [mailto:ssudre2@wanadoo.fr] Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2006 1:48 PM To: Alex Sheh Cc: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: Different runtime Installer behavior for same package On jeudi, décembre 14, 2006, at 10:11 PM, Alex Sheh wrote:
Hi all, When I run my MetaPackage on my system with Installer Version 2.1.5 (94), my Installer Log shows different errors/warnings than on another developer's system. The differences are below.
1) MetaPackage and SubPackages use AdminAuthorization but postflight script runs sudo command. - my system: Installer automatically promotes Metapackage from Admin to RootAuthorization and logs a warning.
I've seen this one (but I don't remember the OS version or platform). What looks strange is that, AFAIK, a metapackage does not deal with the authorization but determines which one is required from the packages it includes. But maybe this has changed with Distribution list. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
