Description

At least in Lion, if your resource title does not end in .pkg, the installer application will fail.

Full story:

  • Your package source is downloaded by curl to /tmp/${resource_title}.
  • /usr/sbin/installer is then pointed at the downloaded file.
  • /usr/sbin/installer will not attempt to install a file whose name doesn’t end in .pkg.

Potential solutions:

  • Download files to /tmp/${resource_title}/${actual_filename}.
  • Fail early if the resource title does not end in .pkg.
