All ownership and permissions are driven by the archive contents, and it is the responsibility of the package author to set those as needed, while constructing the package.

Hi, suppose I got an package that installs per default into / Applications/Some.app/Contents/Resources/A/B If this directory structure does not exist, all non existing directories are created with u=rwx g=rx o=rx. But the default permissions for /Applications is u=rwx g=rwx o=rx. So I thought it would take the permissions from the last existing parent directory to create the new ones. Is this expected behaviour or not ? arne _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
