So, I started with a new startup company and I'm the only Mac Engineer. That means I now have to build my own installers. Log time Mac developer, new to PackageMaker. What I want to do is to use the PackageMaker GUI to setup a pmdoc file that I can call from a shell script to package up our product. I'm having several issues. The biggest one is consistency. It seems that every installer I build (currently building from the GUI) behaves differently. So far I can't nail down specifics. But I'd like to get a feel for the stability of this version of PackageMaker before I go nuts. Two issues that I'm having problems with are... 1) Setting Owner/Group/Mode. I want to set Owner to root and Group to Admin and one directory in the app need write access for everyone. The permissions in the app are already set as I need them but the Owner/ Group is not. It seems that sometimes the installer does what I want and sometimes it does not. 2) I have a Postinstall Action that is suppose to launch the application when the installer is done. (I'd also like the installer to quit post install as well) I've seen it work a couple of times but usually nothing happens. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
