Issue #19785 has been reported by Jesse Endahl. ---------------------------------------- Bug #19785: Puppet package for OS X does not hide /lib folder from user in Finder https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19785
* Author: Jesse Endahl * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Chris Barker * Category: OSX * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.1.1 * Keywords: puppet lib folder directory hidden os x mac package post postflight script * Branch: ---------------------------------------- The following line should be added to the postflight script to hide the /lib folder from the Finder UI: SetFile -a V /lib This works on 10.6 and up. Hiding root level system folders from the UI would be consistent with all the other top level folders. This is the method Apple uses to accomplish this: You can verify that this is true because the other folders (e.g. usr, bin) have the same extended attribute set on them. Use xattr [dirname] to view the name of the extended attribute, and xattr -p [nameofattribute] [dir] to view the content of the extended attribute. $ ls -al | grep usr drwxr-xr-x@ 13 root wheel 442 Oct 16 18:40 usr Since we see the @ sign at the end of the POSIX permissions, we know there is an extended attribute. To check what it is: $ xattr usr com.apple.FinderInfo To print the content of it: $ xattr -p com.apple.FinderInfo usr 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Since we know that this folder is hidden, we can guess that this is what's making it be hidden. Let's test the theory: $ ls -al | grep lib drwxrwx--- 4 root wheel 136 Mar 11 14:01 lib No extended attribute set. Now let's use SetFile to hide /lib: $ sudo SetFile -a V /lib Check if there's an extended attribute: ls -al | grep lib drwxrwx---@ 4 root wheel 136 Mar 11 14:01 lib Yep, let's list it: $ xattr lib com.apple.FinderInfo Let's print it: $ xattr -p com.apple.FinderInfo lib 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Now let's compare again to the usr folder that was already hidden by OS X: $ xattr -p com.apple.FinderInfo usr 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Voila.
