Hello all, |
| 2 |

I'm a little bit rusty, but my recollection is that I should be able to perform `eix-sync` (or `emerge --sync`?) as a user to synchronise my local copy of the portage tree with Gentoo's master portage tree. |

|
| 5 |
User is in the portage group: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
$ whoami |
| 8 |
stroller |
| 9 |
$ groups stroller |
| 10 |
wheel audio video portage cron users |
| 11 |
$ |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Yet I get these permissons denied errors: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ eix-sync |
| 16 |
* Running emerge --sync |

Googling the problem I see a bunch of Gentoo Forums posts talking about changing at random the permissions of /var/tmp/ or /var/tmp/portage/, but no rationale is given, and I don't think this is the cause: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
$ emerge --info | grep -i tmpdir |
| 32 |
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" |
| 33 |
$ ls -ld /var/tmp/ |
| 34 |
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 Feb 5 13:47 /var/tmp/ |
| 35 |
$ ls -ld /var/tmp/portage/ |
| 36 |
drwxrwxr-x 5 portage portage 4096 Feb 5 12:32 /var/tmp/portage/ |
| 37 |
$ |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
More likely seems to be the permissions of /usr/portage/: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
$ ls -ld /usr/portage/ |
| 43 |
drwxr-xr-x 167 portage portage 4096 Jan 5 02:31 /usr/portage/ |
| 44 |
$ ls -ld /usr/portage/app-accessibility/caribou/caribou*.ebuild |
| 45 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 2432 Aug 25 23:11 /usr/portage/app-accessibility/caribou/caribou-0.4.12.ebuild |
| 46 |
-rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 2431 Dec 8 18:01 /usr/portage/app-accessibility/caribou/caribou-0.4.13.ebuild |
| 47 |
$ |
| 48 |
|

This would seem to allow portage itself to synchronise the Portage tree, but not members of the portage group. |

I am able to run `emerge --sync` as root, but it doesn't solve the solve the problem - next time I run `eix-sync` as user, I'm permissions denied, again. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Shouldn't a sync reset the permissions of the portage tree to be correct? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
`emerge --info | grep -i feature` shows that FEATURES="userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" (and some others - see attached) are set. |

I can reproduce this on a second AMD64 machine, both are running portage-2.2.7. |

Thanks in advance for any help, advice or suggestions you can offer, |
