#19863: mmencode hardcodes root privilages ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: marcin.zalewski@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: mmencode ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ I am trying to install mmencode in my local (non-root) port tree, but the need for root privileges: {{{ destroot { system "install -o root -m 755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/bin" 37 system "install -o root -m 755 ${worksrcpath}/mmencode \ 38 ${destroot}${prefix}/bin" 39 system "install -o root -m 755 -d \ 40 ${destroot}${prefix}/share/man/man1" 41 system "install -o root -m 644 \ 42 ${worksrcpath}/../man/mmencode.1 \ 43 ${destroot}${prefix}/share/man/man1" } }}} Note the "-o root" sprinkled around. I am not sure what would be the MacPorts way to handle this, but it should not be difficult. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19863> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
