I would like to modify the `IFPkgFlagRestartAction' behaviour on demand during the installation process - but failed. The changing of the value from `NoRestart' to `RequiredRestart' didn't work: I tried to do this modification of this `IFPkgFlagRestartAction' key value, nested in the Info.plist, within an - InstallationCheck script, - MetaPackage preinstall script and - Singlepacke preinstall script; basically thought the package declaration is read in somewhere after such scripts were invoked. Ok, the installer seems to handle the package declarations statically, no way to do it. Does there an alternative exists to do such things? - One with NoRestart adn the other with RequiredRestart. - InstallationCheck script in each script determines whether they should be enabled or not. - It might be possible to just have one real package. The other one would be made of links to the real package for the .bom, .pax[.gz] (and probably Version, Size, etc...). I tested it and it works on 10.4 (I haven't tested the sym link thing but there's no reason it would not work). 1 package installing nothing but checking for the need to restart or not. The real package is in the Resources and is modified by the postflight script of the main package. The main package installs the real package using installer from the postflight script.
