- Subject: Re: Secret Magic Cookie for Installer?
-
- There should be a series of release notes.
-
-
- Here's an excerpt:
- ========================================================================
- Expanded the parameter "optional" when used with "copyfile" or "copylib",
- also added it to "delete". The new format is
-
- (optional <option> <option> ...)
-
- The first three options are mutually exclusive and do not apply to "delete":
-
- "fail" - installer aborts if could not copy (the default)
- "nofail" - installer continues if could not copy
- "oknodelete" - aborts if can't copy, unless reason was "delete protected"
-
- The next two apply to all the cases:
-
- "force" - unprotect destination
- "askuser" - ask user if the file should be unprotected (but not in novice)
-
- In the case of "askuser", the default for novice mode is an answer of "no".
- Therefore, you may want to use "force" to make the novice mode default answer
- appear to be "yes".
-
- Added the statement "delopts" which allows for a global change to the
- defaults to "copyfile", "copylib" and "delete". The format is
-
- (delopts <option> <option> ...)
-
- just like in the expanded version of "optional" given above. The default
- global options is "fail".
