I have a question and maybe an issue for the fink cognoscenti. I maintain a package (duplicity) for doing encrypted backups that has an extensive testing phase. That testing phase is failing under fink. However during that testing, the routines unpack a tar.gz file to create a directory structure for backing up and restoring.
In looking at the files, they seem to have the user/group ownership of the tar file and not fink-bld. I find several other files such as byte compiled python files to have ownership as root and not as fink-bld. There are a couple of test scripts that end up as fink-bld as the owner but wheel as the group. If the testing phase were executed as root, then it would unpack the tar file as the original owner and not use fink-bld as the owner. If the following command is done: sudo -u fink-bld tar xzf testfiles.tar.gz Then it will unpack the files as the correct owner/group for testing. But of course the distributed test script does not hardwire in a fink-bld user for testing. Is this a fink issue? I was just trying to get my updated package to pass the testing phase. -Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: https://sourceforge.net/p/fink/mailman/fink-devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
