There are two solutions I see: 1) Add the full path (I would just build a “source” folder that had a full hierarchy built within it) to the payloads tab in Packages. 2) Install the file to some holding location (I use /private/tmp but there are a bunch of common options), and then use postinstall scripts to move the files to their correct location. I personally would recommend #2 whenever you are playing in /System, as it also provides an opportunity for you to backup the existing files first, before over-writing them (though I suppose you could do that with pre-install scripting using option 1). Clear as mud? Conor On Jan 27, 2014, at 3:38 PM, Kostas Backas <kostas@systemgraph.gr> wrote:
Hello,
This is a duplicate to the Mac Enterprise list,
I need to replace the file SampleSupport.plist which has the letters shown when Quicklooking a font. I have tweaked the file and now I need to wrap it in a Packages pkg I create, that, among others, it replaces some fonts in main Library and System Library and installs 2 pkgs. As I get from Packages help, when you want to put something ex. in /System/Library/Fonts, you add the “Fonts” directory to the Payload via Hierarchy. As for the SampleSupport.plist the full path is: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreText.framework/Versions/A/Resources
Do I have to create all the tree by hand? What about permissions? Or am I completely wrong here?
Best regards
