I noticed the following 'strange' behaviour and I was wondering if it was a bug or just not important to change.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] soapbox-0.1.0]# soapbox -p /var/tmp/soapbox make install
install -d -m0755 /lib /usr/bin
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/lib", 0755).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/lib", 0755).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/usr/bin", 0755).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/usr/bin", 0755).
install -m0755 libsoapbox.so /lib
soapbox: Attempt to unlink("/lib/libsoapbox.so").
soapbox: Attempt to open64("/lib/libsoapbox.so", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 100755).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/lib/libsoapbox.so", 0600).
soapbox: Attempt to chown("/lib/libsoapbox.so", -1, -1).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/lib/libsoapbox.so", 0755).
install -m0755 soapbox.sh /usr/bin/soapbox
soapbox: Attempt to unlink("/usr/bin/soapbox").
soapbox: Attempt to open64("/usr/bin/soapbox", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 100644).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/usr/bin/soapbox", 0600).
soapbox: Attempt to chown("/usr/bin/soapbox", -1, -1).
soapbox: Attempt to chmod("/usr/bin/soapbox", 0755).You'll notice double chmod's (probably the default first and then the requested one).
Another problem I frequently have is when doing install -d
[EMAIL PROTECTED] soapbox-0.1.0]# soapbox -p /var/tmp/soapbox install -d
-m0755 /var/tmp/soapbox-1.2.3
soapbox: Attempt to mkdir("/var", 0755).
soapbox: Attempt to mkdir("/var/tmp", 0755).Is this the expected behaviour of install ? creating directories that already exist before even testing ?
The reason why I bother, is because in my case these incidents are 'reported' and since they are unnecesarry I'd rather have an extra stat and no systemcalls, than unneeded systemcalls that trigger something.
Thank you for taking the time and for your feedback. -- dag wieers, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://dag.wieers.com/ -- «Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors»
