Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I discovered an issue in a couple of packages for which sage-on-gentoo |
| 4 |
provides ebuilds. |
| 5 |
Some packages install data directly from a tar command. By that I mean |
| 6 |
Makefile.am will a line like |
| 7 |
cd $(DESTDIR)$(dbdir) && tar xf $(dist_db_DATA) && rm $(dist_db_DATA) |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
From a real Makefile at |
| 10 |
https://github.com/sagemath/p_group_cohomology/blob/master/present/Makefile.am |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I looks innocuous until you realise it has some funny effects on ownership. |

the files in the tarball are owned by user/group 1001:1001 |
| 24 |
and on my system it is my personal user. |
| 25 |
sci-mathematics/singular and that may include the version in the main tree, |
| 26 |
would have to check, install its documentation from a tarball as well |

I tried to use fowners inside the ebuild, but it only fixes file ownership, |
| 44 |
folders are not touched. I tried to insert “—no-same-owner” in the call to tar |
| 45 |
and that didn’t really help either. At best, I am expecting ownership to change |
| 46 |
to portage:portage. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Apart from “recursively” |
| 49 |
scripting install in the make file is there anything simple I could do? |
| 50 |

Cheers, |
