#20496: permissions are set to root during install phase despite destroot permissions ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: jameskyle@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Old description:
This behavior only appears in 1.8, it works as expected in 1.7.1. It appears the install phase is changing file and directory ownership from that specified and assigned in the destroot.
For example:
{{{sudo port destroot backuppc ls -ld work/destroot/${destroot}${prefix}/var/backups drwxrwx--- 7 backuppc backuppc 272 Jul 30 17:08 work/destroot/${destroot}${prefix}/var/backups
And after install:
ls -ld ${prefix}/var/backups drwxrwx--- 7 root backuppc 272 Jul 30 17:09 ${prefix}/var/backups }}}

But the top level one I create is still root:admin after install phasse. {{{ ls -ld ${destroot}${prefix}/var/wwwbackup drwxrwx--- 6 backuppc backuppc 204 Aug 3 11:00 ${destroot}${prefix}/var/wwwbackup % ls -ld ../../../mports/var/wwwbackup drwxr-xr-x 6 root admin 204 Aug 3 11:07 ../../../mports/var/wwwbackup }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20496#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
