Rev 383

[golbiga]

So yesterday I tried out the newest rev, but I noticed that my installerchoices file didn’t work when placed in the same folder as the 10D575 10.6.3 Reference DVD. I did notice that after using the newest importdisk and not applying –legacy, the dmg was placed in InstallerDiscs instead of BaseOS. Should I be placing that installer in another folder with the InstallerChoices? Thanks

Nevermind, I just figured it out. Keep the installerchoices.xml in the BaseOS Folder. I’m guessing this is going to change eventually as well?

I’m having continued problems with r383. It’s in findInstallerDisk.py where it says it can’t find my base dmg file. I thought maybe it was because it was a legacy image, so I ripped a new one but i’m having very similar problem Here is where it’s getting lost.

                      # find the item that matches the frontmost allowedBuilds item
                        for thisItem in innerSearchItems:
                                print('\n\n ' + thisItem + ' \n\n')
                                baseImageCandidate = None

                                if hasattr(thisItem, 'isContainerType'):
                                        baseImageCandidate = thisItem
                                        print "--a--"
                                else:
                                        print "--b--"
                                        try:
                                                print "--c--"
                                                baseImageCandidate = containerController.newContainerForPath(thisItem)
                                        except:
                                                print "--d--"
                                                continue

                                if not baseImageCandidate.isContainerType('dmg'):
                                        print "--e--"
                                        continue

And here is the output:

 /Users/jeff/instadmg/InstallerFiles/InstallerDiscs/.svn 
--b--
--c--
--e--
 /Users/jeff/instadmg/InstallerFiles/InstallerDiscs/MacOS X Client 10.6 10A432.dmg 
--b--
--c--
--e--
 /Users/jeff/instadmg/InstallerFiles/BaseOS/.DS_Store 
--b--
--c--
--e--
 /Users/jeff/instadmg/InstallerFiles/BaseOS/.svn 
--b--
--c--
--e--
 /Users/jeff/instadmg/InstallerFiles/BaseOS/InstallerChoices.xml 
--b--
--c--
--e--

It looks like the:

 if not baseImageCandidate.isContainerType('dmg'):

is always evaluating true even when it hits the dmg file. However I’m stymied at trying to dig into isContainerType.

That installer disk was generated with importDisk.py -a

Apparently I needed a reboot it worked today where it wasn’t working last week.
