Overview

How can I define conditionals to the .pkg file for comparing S60 platform versions?

Description

There are about six base files which are installed to all platforms and one conditional file which is installed only to the Nokia 7610 and to a device where the platform version is greater than the platform of the Nokia 7610.  Can I determine the platform version?

Solution

Note that most pkg lines are valid within a condition block. However, the following line types may not be used: languages, package-header, package signature, requisites, and capabilities.
Unfortunately ,the platform version are defined as requisites, and therefore they cannot be used within a condition block.  Regardless of the platform, Nokia devices have a directory "z:\system\install" that contains sis files named with the syntax "Series60vx.x.sis"
For example, a Nokia 7610-dependent component can be installed as
IF exists("z:\system\install\Series60v2.1.sis")
; 7610 dependent component
ELSEIF exists("z:\system\install\Series60v2.6.sis")
; S60 Platform 2.6 dependent component
ELSE
; S60 1.x dependent component
ENDIF
