I've been following this thread and trying to track down what's been
reported (by two people at this point); that is, temporary ports
"stuff" getting stored in /tmp/download.
A `grep -r '/download$' /usr/ports` returns some results, but not
very many. Ones which could raise suspicion, but probably are not
the cause, are:
/usr/ports/biology/garlic/pkg-plist:[EMAIL PROTECTED] %%DOCSDIR%%/download
/usr/ports/lang/diveintopython/Makefile:DIPDLDIR= ${DOCSDIR}/download
/usr/ports/lang/diveintopython/pkg-plist:@dirrm %%DOCSDIR%%/download
/usr/ports/sysutils/jailuser/pkg-plist:%%PORTDOCS%%%%DOCSDIR%%/download
Thus, I decided to go straight to the portupgrade source and look
through that. Nothing really shined through, but I did come across
something that may or may not help:
Apparently pkg_fetch will use either $PKG_TMPDIR or $TMPDIR as a
temporary storage location for where things are stored. Taken from
the manpage in pkgtools-2.2.2/man/pkg_fetch.1:
PKG_TMPDIR
TMPDIR (In that order) Temporary directory where pkg_fetch down-
loads files temporarily. If neither is not defined,
``/var/tmp'' is used.
Do either of the reporters have PKG_TMPDIR or TMPDIR defined in
make.conf, their own dotfiles, root's dotfiles, or within their
php.ini?
Nope.
I'm wondering if maybe a PHP script is trying to do something with
pkg_fetch, and does something like setenv("PKG_TMPDIR", "/tmp/download")
before calling system("pkg_fetch ..."). Why a PHP script would do
this, I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me.
See my other mail about a suspicous port (pear-1.4.11)
