Rick Sustek wrote: my understanding, is that the Installer will only create directories and files as instructed within the pax archive of a package. 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. No, if you set IFPkgFlagDefaultLocation to something which does not exist, the Installer will create this location, but with the wrong permissions I think. And that's what I want to know, if this is a bug or if we need to alter the permissions with a script after installation.

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 ? This email sent to rick@bias-inc.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
