Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the slow reply.  gitdaemon's home
directory is /nonexistent, so do you mean something like

diff --git i/debian/git-daemon-sysvinit.git-daemon.init 
w/debian/git-daemon-sysvinit.git-daemon.init
index cc98a00bad..e1ab4b3947 100644

(plus the analogous change for git-daemon-run)?

Bug#740154: permission warning on repo access: unable to access '/root/.config/git/attributes'

2014-02-26 Thread martin f krafft
Source: git-daemon-sysvinit
Version: 1:1.8.5.3-1~bpo70+1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

$HOME seems unset when git-daemon starts, which causes

  remote: warning: unable to access '/root/.config/git/attributes': Permission 
denied

to be printed on cloning.

exporting $HOME e.g. to gitdaemon's home directory, or
$GIT_DAEMON_BASE_PATH fixes this. Maybe the init.d script could do
that?

 Bugs agains bpo versions should be reported to debian-backports as
 per http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index6h2

Please don't be silly and close the bug. You're right that I should
have fixed the version number, but I reported the bug after checking
that it was present in the non-backports version too, i.e. there's
nothing in the diff causing the bug.

Ok, than let's also assign it to an existing package, otherwise it won't 
do much good.

Kind regards,
Andrei
