| 1 | This folder is a project that I have been working on for myself to help learn shell scripting and to understand the original Chameleon package installer scripts which I found quite difficult at first to follow. But after breaking each script down and looking at each stage I have managed to gain an understanding on the whole process.␊ |
| 2 | ␊ |
| 3 | As a result, I have started from scratch using Apple's PackageMaker, which again is a something new for me, with the aim of building a Chameleon installer using most of the original Chameleon script, albeit chopped in to separate scripts with comments, notes and debug echo's to aid my own style.␊ |

| 5 | The package builds from PackageMaker and it's been tested with various setups at my end which proved successful. ␊ |

| 7 | Testing History:␊ |
| 8 | I released build version numbers 2.1 in to the wild for further testing as I couldn't possibly try out every possible disk setup. For ref, it was posted in iFabio's topic at InsanelyMac␊ |

| 11 | This however, ended in one user reporting the loss of data from using it, at which point I pulled that and made changes to quote all strings for the disk names to help cope with spaces. This became v2.1.1 which I then released.␊ |
| 12 | ␊ |
| 13 | I then went on to make further changes in response to feedback which resulted in adding the option for the user to choose hiding the stage 2 boot file in the Finder and added code for an existing /Extra folder to be copied to /ExtraBackup before removing it. This became v2.1.2 and again was released.␊ |
| 14 | ␊ |
| 15 | Unfortunately, another user reported data loss at which point I remove all download links and have not released any further builds. ␊ |
| 16 | ␊ |
| 17 | As a result, I consider there to be a bug which I think must lie with the rm commands in the postscript.sh script which is causing this problem, though I haven't been able to reproduce it myself. Therefore, I don't recommend this is ever released again until that bug is fixed!!!␊ |
