Thank you, Rainer!

Your patch allowed the pkg/mpkg commands to work.  I do notice that the owner 
of certain files has changed from macports to root, however.  I’ll test 
deploying the installer and see if the result works OK.  I’ll try producing an 
mdmg, as well.

If those work out OK, is this something that would be an acceptable change to 
base for distribution?

Not without patching base. I have no experience with creating pkgs, so I
don't know if it makes sense to allow running this as root at all.

Permission denied, "pkg" phase

2016-08-25 Thread Craig Treleaven 
How do I get elevated privileges in a “pre-pkg” block?

In a thread a couple of days ago, it was pointed out that “pkg” and “mpkg” are 
phases and that one can have a pre-pkg or post-mpkg block.  I want to include a 
copy of daemondo in an mpkg and it looks like all I need to do is copy the 
executable into the destroot.  The pkg phase will then then create an installer 
component including it and mpkg will add that to the meta package.  I’ve been 
testing this with the gforth port just to work out the concept.

The offending block is:

pre-pkg {
  xinstall -m 644 ${prefix}/bin/daemondo ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/
}

resulting in:

Error: org.macports.pkg for port gforth returned: xinstall: Unable to create 
new file for: 
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_craigtreleaven_mp_ports_lang_gforth/gforth/work/destroot/opt/local/bin//daemondo,
 Permission denied
DEBUG: Error code: NONE

I’ve tried adding:

pkg.asroot  yes

to my portfile but that seems to be unrecognized.

Is there a way around this?

Craig
