Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
most packages are putting acct-{user,group}/* dependencies into RDEPEND. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
What about packages using tmpfiles eclass and installing tmpfiles which |
| 6 |
will make use of acct-{user,group}/* depedencies? |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I.e. dev-db/mysql-init-scripts will install |
| 9 |
"/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mysql.conf" with the following content: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
> d /var/run/mysqld 0755 mysql mysql - |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The package is a requirement for all |
| 14 |
dev-db/{mysql,mariadb,percona-server} packages because it will provide |
| 15 |
runscript/services. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
To be able to start your chosen database server right after |
| 18 |
installation, we trigger tmpfiles service in pkg_postinst via |
| 19 |
tmpfiles_process(). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Therefore, mysql user and group provided by acct-{user,group}/mysql must |
| 22 |
be merged *before* tmpfiles_process() will be called or |
| 23 |
"/var/run/mysqld" will be created as root:root which will prevent your |
| 24 |
favorite database server to start. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
However, devmanual |
| 27 |
(https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/) says: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
> Items which are in RDEPEND but not DEPEND could in theory be merged |
| 30 |
> after the target package. Portage does not currently do this. |
| 31 |
So don't we have a conceptual problem here and are just lucky that |
| 32 |
current used PMs don't do at the moment what specification will allow |
| 33 |
them to do? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Moving to (B)DEPEND will address the problem for non-binary package |
| 36 |
users only. |
