Thx scrax...
but... no luck

Have you find a way using packagemaker to use external info text like "localizable.strings"
In the official package (from voodoo team) there isn't that problem the "external" file is well managed and look like accept the line b...

I also find a problem (My limited knowlege in that package program)...
How manage the choice?
Is there a way to auto exclude a choice?

Example:

In the options if you select can also select and boot0 boot0hfs,
would be possible to exclude a selected depending on whether the other?
In the installer "official" (if I'm not mistaken) uses a Java function, I tried to reproduce it, but without success.

Edit in Italian

Nell'installer ufficiale usa una funzione Java lo vedi all'interno del file distribution, ma non riesco a riprodurre la scelta selettiva...
In pratica puoi attivare tutte le opzioni contemporaneamente... cosa che ovviamente non va bene...
Uso packagemaker 3.0.4 ma credo che la parte sui requirement ovvero sulle scelte non funzioni bene.

Infatti ci vanno dei codici java per fare le scelte. col 3.4 non riesco ancora a farcele stare, vedi il topic sul voodoo forum per riferimento... sto preparando l'installer con anche EFI e RAID install
Ero riuscito a fare le scelte singole con un altro programma ma poi selezionando qualcos'altro si resettava la parte dove le scelte eran forzatamente singole...
Appena ci riesco ti dico

Hey iFabio.
I made a polish translation for chameleon.
It includes translated:
- Welcome.rtfd
- Description.html
- License.rtf
- Conclusion.rtfd
- Localizable.strings

I hope it will be useful. The language code should be "pl"
Edit: Updated version Localizable.strings.

don't you think it would be nice to use "custom install only"?
"custom install only"

enter the screen to customize

I prefer "Easy and Custom Install" because people like me do the installation from another "volume" so... with that option can select the "target"

The Polish version is OK too.
In the extended options the notes could be translated too, the same like @ledenev sugested for Russian.

I work on it...
the official chameleon package use the file localizable.strings for this job...
I have no idea how manage that file in packagemaker...

Fabio

[oldnapalm]

There are other free packaging apps that allow easy localization

http://s.sudre.free....ages/about.html
http://s.sudre.free....re/Iceberg.html

You can set one option depending on other, so if you select boot0hfs it unchecks boot0 (in Package Maker you can do that using "requirements").

You could try Iceberg, it's free and more featured then packagemaker: http://www.apple.com...ls/iceberg.html

Yep oldnapalm.
but the choice option look like not work in packagemaker... I try a couple of differents things but no luck!
(I also try use the javascript from original package locate in the distribution file...

[size=1]	<script>
	
		function exclusive(toggle){
		toggle.selected = ( my.choice.selected != "false" ? "false" : "true" );
		return ( toggle.selected != false ? false : true );
	}
	
	</script>[/size]

and call the proper option in packagemaker... but... again no luck

I will try that package too...
the choice are very important...
the location language script are "cosmetics" but if the apps can do that things... is better

I've manged how to fix the official installer:

buildpkg and all the postinstall scipts nedd to be executable:

chmod +x /package/Scipts/%SCRIPTPATH%/postinstall

and I use this two modded scripts to avoid errors attached here
 Archivio.zip   10.2K   14 downloads

from my test it's possible to add more choice options for example add fakeSMC or a custom kext like ZevOReboot (a one kext for my zotac) just addin the kexts in te Kext folder

Attached here the installer to test, it has EFI support but not boot0hfs.
I've added ZEvOreboot for my board in Kext folder and added the relative lines in Localizable.strings and conclusion line in Distribution

EDIT: (added conclusion)

[mitch_de]

Whats the diff using  boot0hfs vs boot0 ?
Does it matter for MBR type or only GUID type Partition schema ?
Does it matter on WIN / HFS(OS X) dual booting or not ?
Thanks

boot0 boots the active partition boot0hfs boots the first hfs partition, so you can windows and OSx on the same hard drive.

Perfect scrax!!!



I also fix the conclusion!!

just add this in the Distribution file

	<welcome file='Welcome.rtfd'/>
	<license file="License.rtf" sla="EA0401"/>
	<readme  file='Description.html'/>
	[b]<conclusion file="Conclusion.rtfd"/>[/b]

I can confirm.

With the changes proposed by scrax the official installer now works!!!

Just need some little changes in the rest of the script... but works!

@scrax Is easy manage how add the boot0hfs option in the buildpkg... duplicate the standard "part" and change some name...  and in the script folder create a new one that match with boot0hfs the description (language) isn't need for now still a empty field but works!

just one choice to enable boot0hfs for EFI ROOT and RAID but it could be done easily

I'll post one with your suggestion in a moment

here it is:
Standard,
Standard boot0hfs (by iFabio),
EFI FAT,
EFI HFS,
Boot Options Corrected and some new added (by iFabio)
Kext
