hi,

thx for your answer, though, i read the stackoverflow thread, too. ;) i'm not sure if that explains the different behavior on my two 10.7 machines which both have exactly the same packagemaker version, the same payload with the same permissions/owner group set before compressing them to archive during package creation process.

i noticed, there is a "--no-recommend" flag i can use, which is described as follows

"If specified, packagemaker will not apply recommended permissions to package contents."

Ah, yes, you definitely want that. I have that in all my scripts and had simply forgotten that it isn't the default. I added it to the StackOverflow post.

in the packagemaker man page. what are the recommended permissions and what are the criteria for setting those? they obviously differ under certain circumstances (build environment? destination folder?).

I think they're simply taken from the system on the machine it's built on. -- Per Olofsson, IT-service, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
