Comment(by mmadia):
Here's a table from [http://betips.net/1997/09/09/making-beos-install-cds-
like-pro-edition/ BeTips.net] and looking at an R5 Pro CD
|| type || id || name || data ||
|| cstr || attr || INSTALLER PACKAGE: NAME || ex. BeShare ||
|| cstr || attr || INSTALLER PACKAGE: DESCRIPTION || What this does ||
|| cstr || attr || INSTALLER PACKAGE: GROUP || ex. Net Tools ||
|| offt || attr || INSTALLER PACKAGE: SIZE || size in bytes ||
|| bool || attr || INSTALLER PACKAGE: ON_BY_DEFAULT || false or true ||
|| bool || attr || INSTALLER PACKAGE: ALWAYS_ON || false or true ||
But, I'm not sure how this is handled wrt our cd-image type, [http://dev
.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/build/jam/ImageRules#L821 isCDPackage],
and Installer. From what I can tell, when the type is cd-image & an
optionalpackage sets isCDPackage = true, the archive is simply copied into
_packages_/, without getting any attributes. How Installer picks this up
as something to be automatically extracted during installation is fuzzy.
I'll look into creating something like _packages_/Sources with the proper
attributes.
