Hi List-- Haven't heard anything back, other than a couple of people who've emailed me privately to say that they are also in need of this solution. Maybe I didn't state it clear enough. Is it possible to make a Distribution Package relocatable, or at least respect the IFPkgFlagRelocatable flag in the sub-packages? --Allen | -----Original Message----- | From: | installer-dev-bounces+afisher=makemusic.com@lists.apple.com | [mailto:installer-dev-bounces+afisher=makemusic.com@lists.appl | e.com] On Behalf Of Fisher, Allen | Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 10:16 PM | To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com | Subject: Make Distro Relocatable... | | List-- | | Been looking through the software distribution guide and not | having much luck with this one: | | I am building an installer that has shared media content | between mac and windows and has to span multiple disks. These | two issues turned out to be fairly straight forward, although | one of my intrepid colleagues had to hack an existing | installer's info.plist to figure this out. HOWEVER, the | sticky piece of this is turning out to be making this | relocatable. Some of the files are quite large( >500mb), and | it's customary to allow a user to choose a different | drive/folder to put the large files in. | | There are essentially two application folders, one that's | relocatable (the large files) and another that we just want | to put into /Applications. I've built the initial packages | and a metapackage using iceberg, and the relocatable property | is respected. HOWEVER this is not respected when bringing the | metapackage into PackageMaker to allow the ejecting of CD's. | | I've pounded my head against the wall for a couple of days | with no success. I really don't want to have to abandon | Iceberg/PM for VISEX. Any suggestions? | | As an aside, is there a place that provides full | documentation for all the keys in the INFO.plist? | | Thanks for any suggestions | | Allen Fisher | | _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
