Snow Leopard 1.3 Retail disk missing #95

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Insert Retail DVD 1.6.3 included with MacBook Pro, mid 2010
1. Follow Quickstart instructions included in PDF Documentation.
2. "No sources found" error message, InstaUp2Date does not finish. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output:
Completed MacOS 1.6.8 vanilla
Instead:
No image is created.

What version of InstaDMG are you running? What revision number (this should
be the second line of your package log)?
InstaDMG version 1.6rc1 (svn revision: 425)

What OS are you running on (booted from)?
Snow Leopard 1.6.8

What OS are you installing?
Snow Leopard 1.6.8

Please provide any additional information below.
The build number of my DVD seems to be missing from the catalog. The filename 
of the BaseOS image that is created is 'MacOS X Client 10.6.3 10D2101a.dmg'. If 
I add 10D2101a to the 1.6 Vanilla catalog the build process runs to completion. 
I tested the image and it seems to work on one of my intended target machines. 
Is build 10D2101a a retail image? The DVD was included when we  bought the 
MacBook Pro. I can boot from the DVD and install a completely wiped computer 
with it, so its not an upgrade disc(?).

-> please be more specific in the documentation on what exacly IS a retail dvd. 
Maybe include some comments in the catalog as well what criteria makes a retail 
DVD "retail".
-> please give more readable error messages in such a case. It was not obvious 
on what caused the "no sources found" error, especially since instaUp2Date 
found the DVD and was creating an image right before the error popped up!

The problem here is that you are incorrect about #1. That is not a "Retail" 
disk. But rather is one of the grey computer-specific ones. A "Retail" disk is 
one that you go to a retail store and buy independently of a computer.

The vanilla catalogs will only work with the "Retail" line because other routes 
may need special resources to work, so you are on your own when using them. You 
either need to make up your own catalogs for this disk, or better yet, get 
ahold of an actual Retail disk.
