OK got it. I am new to Mac OS X. My assumption was that the installer command would upgrade the package keeping its original option configurations. It doesn't One has to specify the proper option from the command line using the applyChoiceChangesXML argument. I haven't yet tested the following but it should work. I am waiting for the release that will contain the change I just committed (support of permGen option): https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/commit/fb9f0679c7c75ea1e6c85bbe4f663896714bf63e To list the option one has by default in the package one does something like that sudo installer -showChoiceChangesXML -pkg jenkins-1.454.pkg -target / which prints out an XML preferences. I stored it under jenkins_CLI_install_orig.plist. (omitting the -target / option fails with a strange error on my machine "installer: Cannot install on volume (null) because it is disabled.") and then one can copy that file and edit it to contain the options one want. In my case: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <array> <dict> <key>attributeSetting</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>choiceAttribute</key> <string>selected</string> <key>choiceIdentifier</key> <string>jenkinslaunchdjenkins</string> </dict> <dict> <key>attributeSetting</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>choiceAttribute</key> <string>selected</string> <key>choiceIdentifier</key> <string>jenkinslaunchd</string> </dict> </array> </plist> To test the new config: sudo installer -showChoicesAfterApplyingChangesXML jenkins_CLI_install_override.plist -pkg jenkins-1.454.pkg -target / > jenkins_CLI_install_new.plist # diff -u jenkins_CLI_install_orig.plist jenkins_CLI_install_new.plist --- jenkins_CLI_install_orig.plist 2012-03-07 08:04:30.000000000 +0100 +++ jenkins_CLI_install_new.plist 2012-03-07 08:21:15.000000000 +0100 @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ </dict> <dict> <key>attributeSetting</key> - <integer>1</integer> + <integer>0</integer> <key>choiceAttribute</key> <string>selected</string> <key>choiceIdentifier</key> @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ </dict> <dict> <key>attributeSetting</key> - <integer>0</integer> + <integer>1</integer> <key>choiceAttribute</key> <string>selected</string> <key>choiceIdentifier</key> and to finally run the command (untested) sudo installer -applyChoiceChangesXML jenkins_CLI_install_override.plist -pkg jenkins-1.454.pkg -target / When tested, I will update the Wiki.
