RE: Kexts and the most current version of PackageMaker
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Thread-index: AcjtyeKYag8Q1KJhRnC0Msy+n6a1VAAANPIg Thread-topic: Kexts and the most current version of PackageMaker I still use PackageMaker and had to add a postflight script to force the permissions. Run as root, of course. Every now and then, I still get the "won't load" message from the kext manager. I think this happens when that guy kicks in before the postflight script runs. Just for completeness, I added a postinstall action to enable the driver. In all, I've never seen a case where the driver wasn't activated by the time the installation is done.

I've set the top-most level of the kext (which is really just a bundle) to the proper permissions, but the underlying content (Contents/*) don't get the proper permissions. I'm going to stick with a BASH script for the time being, but I'm hoping to eventually figure out (or file enough RADARs) PackageMaker 3 to achieve the results I want.
