#31399: fossil 1.19 will not open new repositories after an error-free build -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: spamivore+macports@… | Owner: ciserlohn@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: fossil | -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Changes (by ciserlohn@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Fixed in r84762. The fossil port tries to find and rebuild existing repositories after upgrading or installing fossil. Fossil stores information about existing repositories in a '.fossil' file in the users home directory. If there is no '.fossil' file, it will be created when the port tries to find and rebuild the existing repositories. Unfortunately if created by the port the '.fossil' file is owned by root and not writable by the user and therefor causing the aforementioned error. Fossil should work fine if you change the file owner of '.fossil' to your user. The new version of the port checks if a '.fossil' exists. If not, it will not create a '.fossil' of it own. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31399#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
