[Casper] dummy receipts, maybe a question for miles

[Thomas Larkin]

What if you just put a simple script in the package, like 

#!/bin/bash 

echo "hello world" 

exit 
done 

I mean that would be harmless, could you index it then?

I would imagine you could index the dummy package, however there's
nothing in it to index.  Perhaps that's giving Casper's index and
uninstall systems a fit. 


You might get around this by creating
/Library/DummyPackages/myDummyPackage.txt and rolling it up in your
dummy package.  This will give Casper something to index, and hopefully
avoid the behavior you're seeing with indexing and uninstalling.

Another one, 


Maybe for Miles, 


Can you index a dummy receipts, i am guess that because it contains no
contents that it cannot be indexed? 


I have tried to index a dummy receipt, Casper Admin says it has indexed
and it then shows up as YES to index and i can then select the allow
uninstall, however in the jss web interface both Casper admin and when i
create a policy the dummy packages shows up as not being indexed and
thus cannot be uninstalled.
