site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: SquirrelMail/1.4.17 Hi all, I have a project, which until recently was built with Xcode 2.5, and a "run script" action which invoked packagemaker like this to build an installer package: "${SYSTEM_DEVELOPER_DIR}/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker" -build -p "/path/to/package.pkg" -f "${DSTROOT}/Root" -i "Installer/GUI-Info.$$.plist" -d "Installer/GUI-Description.plist" -r "${DSTROOT}/Resources" -ds the Info.plist used as input sets IFPkgDefaultLocation="/", IFPkgFlagRelocatable=false and IFPkgFlagRootVolumeOnly=true. This produced a non-relocatable package. BTW, the Resources folder just contains the scripts such as preflight, preinstall etc. I upgraded to Xcode 3.1.2, and now the package seems to be relocatable on installation - at least, this is how I interpret the fact that the app gets installed over my build/Release/ folder. Having read the list archives and searched online, I found only recommendations to switch off the relocatable flag in the PM document - but I'm not using one. I tried re-casting the packagemaker invocation using the new-style arguments: "${SYSTEM_DEVELOPER_DIR}/usr/bin/packagemaker" --root "${DSTROOT}/Root" --info "Installer/GUI-Info.$$.plist" --scripts "${DSTROOT}/Resources" --root-volume-only --verbose --version "${app_version}" --out "/path/to/package.pkg" however, this doesn't change the behaviour - the payload is still relocated by the installer. I notice that packagemaker has added the following stanza to the Info.plist in the package: <key>IFPkgPathMappings</key> <dict> <key>./Applications/AppName.app</key> <string>{pkmk-token-2}</string> </dict> but has left the other keys alone, including the default location and relocatable keys. So now, I'm stumped :-/. Can I change this command-line invocation to make the payload non-relocatable, or must I create a pmdoc? On a somewhat related note, is it possible to specify a Description.plist in the new-style packagemaker invocation? Thanks for your help, Graham. -- Graham J Lee http://thaesofereode.info _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
