Hello!
I am not sure where this topic belongs, but many developers are using
hdiutil to create disk images of their applications. And one very early
script for doing so in PB was presented by one of Apple developers, so
here I go...
Previously I was making the release images the long way (as described
in man hdiutil), and now I was pleased that I could do it all with a
single command line. But this command (hdiutil -create -srcfolder xxx
xxx.dmg) seems to requires root privileges. It cannot be run as a
normal user in Xcode custom build command, but can be run as 'sudo
hdiutil ...' on a command line in Terminal, naturally requiring
password entry. Now why would such a command require root privileges is
beyond me. Am I making some mistakes or is this really impossible to do
in a script?
