macOS .pkg installer signing broken

[Luigi]

Hello, tried to install fresh from this link for macOS. I'm on the latest 15.5 mainline build released yesterday.
https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases/tag/v6.0.2

I'm faced with this error.

"devkitpro-pacman-
installer.pkg" Not Opened Apple could not verify "devkitpro- pacman-installer.pkg" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise
your privacy.

There are only options to dismiss the prompt and/or delete the .pkg.

I checked the signature:

Code: Select all

pkgutil --check-signature ~/Downloads/devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg
Package "devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg":
   Status: no signature

To ship software on modern macOS it is required to sign your .pkg installer. Overrides will not be possible in future updates of macOS.

It's difficult to know how to deal with this one. As far as I know currently Apple are not at all keen on 3rd party installers so the likelihood of getting this package signed seems somewhat low. We do have instructions to install the package from a terminal using

Code: Select all

sudo installer -pkg /path/to/devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg -target /

This avoids any prompts up to at least 14.x but has not yet been tested on 15.x

I'll see what I can find out from Apple.

It isn't ideal I know but we do our best to ensure packages are malware free.
