Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update.mpkg

I’m surprised no one has posted about this yet.

Who in their right mind would let an update pkg out the door with a forward slash in the name?

InstaUp2Date doesn’t like it…can’t blame the code.

InstaDMG seems to pass it over too…can’t blame it.

It’s not rocket science but I opened the mpkg, extracted the two enclosed pkg’s that apply to Tiger and Leopard, and setup my build trains accordingly.

MigrationDVDCDSharingLeopard.pkg
MigrationDVDCDSharingTiger.pkg

Nice that these two pkgs don’t have forward slashes in the names.

Nothing earth shattering just a word to the wise, among whom I am obviously not.

Perhaps Apple wanted everybody to include strong error checking and special character tolerance in their scripts?

Anyways, thanks for the tip–it’ll save some head-scratching.
