Installer "diverting" files when package built/installed on 10.5
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com The install log contains these messages: We have an install package that is created by the Packagemaker command line utility. It is a -build package that is created from products placed in a tmp directory. A script copies products from their respective build location to the tmp node, and places each product in it's respective relative location. When the .pkg file is created, there are warnings generated about the permissions set on items destined for the /Library directory, but the products are installed there fine. The permissions we use are set as items in the /Library directory, and as recommended by Apple documents. Unfortunately, Items destined for the /Applications folder are "diverted" to a temp directory which is created by the installer, which is at the same location as the products were packaged from when the package was built. Installer[1488]: Create temporary directory "/private/tmp/ OurPackage.pkg.148869K8c2" Installer[1488]: ./Applications/OurDir/Our.app installed to /private/ tmp/ourdir/dstroot/Applications/OurDir/Our.app pkgExtractor[1494]: Extracting... pkgExtractor[1494]: Diverting "./Applications/OurDir/Our.app" to "/ private/tmp/oursbdir/dstroot/Applications/OurDir/Our.app" <also contains Diverting messages for all Our.app subdirs/files... The same packaging script works fine when built on OS 10.4 and installed on 10.[45] The Archive.bom contents contain the correct paths when viewed with lsbom. I cannot find any apple docs that talk about the installer "diverting" files. Does anyone know what can cause this crazy behavior???
