Re: Re[3]: Installer chewing up CPU time on 10.3 while running postinstall
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Appear to have resolved this - the issue is that 7za prints a line for each file it extracts to stdout. On 10.3, this causes Installer to seriously chew cpu time, presumably as it's adding the output to the log. I made each extract run with >/dev/null and the problem is greatly reduced. However - this now impedes our ability to diagnose install issues. Why on earth, have Apple not pushed out Installer updates to 10.3 users? Distribution scripts and such would make our lives a hell of a lot easier! I'll let the Installer.app engineers explain. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
