It's not "funnily", it's cleverly. Because I haven't done it before? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored. Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... I'm trying to make PackageMaker add 3 folders to a package. Not one "root" folder, but 3 folders, each within the root. This is because I want to develop from and create installers from the same directory. This helps speed up my development process, and reduce mistakes. If I need to manually copy files around everytime I make a release, this introduces human error and also takes more time and energy. This means I'll be more reluctant to release so regularly. Out of all of those, I just want "happy.app", "DataBanks", and "Tools" in my package. I tried making a "Release" folder, and putting 3 aliases into there, but that didn't work. Funnily enough PackageMaker put the aliases themselves and not the things pointed to by the alias into the package! I tried symlinks, same problem :( I'm not sure to understand the reason why you can't have a shell script copy the folders to a "root" folder since you probably need to set the correct permissions anyway. Also... how do I enter these scripts? I can't find a place for them in PackageMaker. Are they 10.4 distribution only? Since there are no such things as hard links for folders on Mac OS X, these are the only solutions I can think of. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
