Bug#409026: wims: FTBFS: cp: cannot stat `/wims-3.60/wims/public_html/wims': No such file or directory
Raphael Hertzog a écrit : You are trying to compile WIMS as 'root'! You should not do that. Compile as 'wims', please. Thanks! Georges, is there a good reason explaining why wims is doing that ? Of course, Raphael, there is a check in the script which compiles wims, to detect if it has root privilege. If it has such privilege, it throws the message You are trying to compile WIMS as 'root'! and stops. So the failure to compile the package is completely explicated, and it cannot be considered as a bug. I can see one reason why the package should be built as 'wims' user : if it is to be maintained by a 'wims' user later. As we do a package for Debian, the files will finally be owned by 'root', so it does not matter if their are built by 'root'. Hereafter I write some thoughts about the permissions we should organise for the public wims tree : If we do not give back some files and directories to 'wims' at post-installation time, the server won't be able to synchronize with other Wims servers (that means: benefit from newer educational modules, and allow automatic upgrading). My opinion is that we should allow exchanges of educational modules and give the relevant directories to 'wims', but that we should not allow the server to upgrade directly. So the permission schema should not be the same that the one scheduled in the upstream side. Therefore it does not matter if we compile it as 'root' : the permissions will be definitely set by the post-installation script. Otherwise, consider removing that check for the next upload. OK, I do that. Should we upload it shortly, or do we wait for a new upstream release? Note that even debuild -r sudo doesn't build as root, it only installs cleans as root. Which explains why I couldn't reproduce the failure.

Hello Raphael, thank you for the precise hint about the origin of the bug. I was just able to write that the bug was not reproducible, but I had no idea about the conditions which might lead to that bug.

Andreas, are you building the package with sudo instead of fakeroot ?
Which shell are you using as /bin/sh ?
Please send us the full build log and tell us on which architecture you
tried the build.
This version has successully built on all arches and I couldn't reproduce
the bug locally. Thus downgrading to important.
At first look, I first thought of a variant of the standard error when
building with sudo: usually $(PWD) is not defined because sudo is
stripping most environment variables. But here we're using $$(pwd) in the
Makefile which leads to $(pwd) given to the shell and this returns a
value. And I built the package with debuild -r sudo and it worked.
Cheers,
