MAC PackageMaker预安装/后安装脚本以获取原始* .pkg文件目录

Question

How do I get the original *.pkg file directory when install it?

I have created a pkg file, and put it with another file(like test.txt ) into a same folder, like ~/Desktop/test

And when install pkg file, I want it to copy the "test.txt" file to ~/Library folder. So I add preinstall/postinstall script into pkg file to copy the "test.txt" file. I try to get the directory use

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"

But it will return the tmp directory

/private/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.G5GFI6/Scripts/com.myApp.testApp.pkg.o5k2nE

not the original pkg directory (~/Desktop/test)

Has anybody know how to get the original directory when install?

Answer 1

You've created a flat package? Have you tried looking at the parameters passed to the postinstall script?

$0 - Script path
$1 - Package path
$2 - Target location
$3 - Target volume`

Parameter $1 should give you what you're looking for.

Copied from old bundle style format information , but still seems to apply to newer flat packages.

Answer 3

This:

pkgpath=\`dirname "$PACKAGE_PATH"\`

will give you the path to the package in the variable $pkgpath .
