Changing the Install Volume

[Kris Lou]

I'm trying to deploy a file and run a postinstall script on to a different volume than the Boot Volume (creating packages with The Luggage for Bootstrappr deployment).

I've found "ROOT_ONLY=true" in luggage.make, and tried to override this in my Makefile.  Is this the proper way to do this? 

Actually, does the ROOT_ONLY switch do anything with pkgbuild?

Thanks,

-Kris

To be honest, I haven’t tried. If you’re not having success with overriding ROOT_ONLY, might I suggest munki-pkg?

https://github.com/munki/munki-pkg

I’ve kicked around the idea of moving from The Luggage myself, but it’d be a large task. I haven’t needed to install pkgs on non-boot volumes, so this issue hasn’t come up for me.

I think that ROOT_ONLY is leftover from packagemaker, so no longer effective.  As you can see, the pkgbuild output is basically unchanged.

And standard Luggage/pkgbuild packages are able to installed on non-boot volumes, so no worries there.  In my initial testing, it took a while to figure out that the installation GUI wouldn't prompt to change volumes if it didn't detect a 2nd volume present ...
