#49501: Spaces and Backslashes in Group Names ------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: citibob@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by chuck.fry@…): This is broken in trunk as of 4/26/16 13:30 PST, but in a slightly different fashion, in an mtree script. {{{ env PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin CFLAGS="-pipe -Os" ./configure --enable-readline --prefix=/Users/cfry --with-applications- dir=/Users/cfry/Applications --with-no-root-privileges make install }}} results in: {{{ * Warning: Using pre-generated man pages only. * asciidoc, xsltproc (port libxslt) and docbook-xsl are required to generate man pages from source. /usr/bin/install -c -d -o "cfry" -g "NDC\Domain Users" -m "0755" "/Users/cfry" /usr/bin/install -c -d -o "cfry" -g "NDC\Domain Users" -m "0755" "/Users/cfry/etc/macports" < prefix.mtree /usr/sbin/mtree -U -e -p "/Users/cfry" > /dev/null mtree: line 6: unknown group NDC\Domain make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 1 rdnzl:base cfry$ }}} I tried quoting the group name in base/doc/prefix.mtree, with no luck. Single quotes, double quotes, and backslashes in front of special characters all failed in the same way. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49501#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
