I'm confused about the permissions that we set in PackageMaker in the Contents area. I have version 3.0.3. Well, permissions have always confused me so this is nothing new for me :) But what I'm wondering is what I should typically set the Owner and Group to be. By default it's usually set to "Owner: Andrew" (my account name) and "Group: staff". Somewhere in the PM documentation, I think it talked about it typically being set to Root / Admin, so that's what I've being doing. But I have a lot of installs to make, and I change the contents often, so I would prefer to just leave it at the default rather than constantly changing it to root/admin when that might not make any difference. I've done testing, and I can't see any problem leaving it at Andrew / Staff with all the 9 boxes checked, but then again I don't understand permissions very well... I just receive 1 warning during compile "Warning such and such file is world writable", which I just ignore and everything seems to work well. I have tested the Apply Recommendations button before, and I'm not entirely clear what this does so I just leave it alone. Generally I get more "warnings" after pressing the apply recommendations button. Also, my installs have hundreds, sometimes thousands of files in them so I can't be applying permissions to each file individually (not that I think I would need to)... All this stuff is a pain to do manually for each build you do, but if you create a shell script to fix up permissions and owner/group on all your files, as well as building the package (as I've found that the command-line tool for building packages also works better than the GUI build operation). And if you script fixing permissions/owner/group, you might as well carry on with scripting your app with xcodebuild and creating the folder that PackageMaker uses read it's contents.
