rtrouton / payload-free-package-creator Goto Github PK

Just ran the application for the first time on OS X 10.10. It worked without any problems. Haven't done any extensive testing, but just thought you should know.

It would be nice to customize the version number that is used when creating the package. By default, it is set to zero and cannot be changed, which causes problems when trying to create a payload-free package as an update to a previous payload-free package in Munki.

Here is the PackageInfo from a test package I created:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<pkg-info overwrite-permissions="true" relocatable="false" identifier="com.github.payload_free" postinstall-action="none" version="0" format-version="2" generator-version="InstallCmds-502 (14B25)" auth="root">
    <bundle-version/>
    <upgrade-bundle/>
    <update-bundle/>
    <atomic-update-bundle/>
    <strict-identifier/>
    <relocate/>
    <scripts>
        <postinstall file="./postinstall"/>
    </scripts>
</pkg-info>

Note the version="0" in line 2.

I am encountering an error at the first step, and the file is never copied to .tmp. Full error message:

The action “Copy Finder Items” encountered an error: “The file “install.sh” couldn’t be saved in the folder “install.sh”.”

These packages that are created with Payload-Free-Package-Creator should be able to be imported into Munki right? This may tie into this now that I am finding it. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/munki-dev/zPNfOTJVwlQ
