Package uebersicht suggestions

[ImAMacGuy]

I want to make a pkg of uebersicht https://github.com/felixhageloh/uebersicht (and a couple widgets), mostly to install into the AutoCasperNBI's. However, the composer doesn't seem to track any binary or anything for it (which may make sense).

The downloaded file from the website is a .app file, though I can find no installed references of that file.

Any ideas?

Have you tried Packages? http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html

You can drag-and-drop a drag-and-drop .app into it and it creates a deployable .pkg. /url">@rtrouton][/url wrote up a post about it on his blog ([https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2014/05/02/building-simple-packages-with-packages/) with a video so you can see what I'm talking about. Works great with GitHub, HipChat, Firefox, Chrome, and a myriad of other apps that install by simply dragging them into the Applications folder. Might want to give that a shot.

That seemed to work, but didn't solve the need to put in the "widget" package

You would need to install any widgets you want, test them, and then use composer to package them up.
Widgets are installed in: /Users/your-user-name/Library/Application Support/U?bersicht/widgets.
So if you wanted to package up for example the calendar.widget simply drag the folder: /Users/your-user-name/Library/Application Support/U?bersicht/widgets/calendar.widget into the left sidebar of composer. that will create a new package with that widget. Is this what you are asking? #U?bersicht #FTW

@quedayone yes, that seems to capture the widgets individually. I think I was trying to capture the whole finished product w/ widgets. The Packages method that @emilykausalik mentioned just dumped the .app, which would be fine, but it needs to be installed, not just dumped down. Maybe doing a post flight script for installer to actually install it would work.. that's what I was going to try for today.

And as best I can tell, the AutoCasperNBI tool uses root? There's no users in the /Users folder, so I'm not fully sure that your method would work for this particular scenario...
