I've got a .pmdoc project created with PackageMaker. It appears the
ownership and permission settings are ignored. If I close the document
and re-open it, file specified to be owned by root are instead owned
by me. Worse, even if I set the permissions, save, and build the
project, I can see with lsbom the files are still set up to be
specifically owned by me, not root. This is confirmed if I actually
install the package. Also letting Package Maker assign "recommended
permissions" is problematic; for example, the permissions it wants to
make .kext bundles are actually flat-out wrong.
It appears so far the only workaround is to actually manually place
the files on the machine creating the package as an example for
package maker, and then the permissions and ownership are taken from
what is actually installed on the machine. This is not a reasonable
workaround for a build server, especially if files are added or removed.
Is the XML created by Package Maker documented somewhere that I might
manually fix whatever it is breaking? Are there any more reasonable
interfaces for .pmdoc bundles? Is there another suggested technique
applicable to 10.4 and 10.5 I might use instead to create package files?
