I realized that p7zip uncompress as other user/group, apparently if
uncompressing user is root. Is this a problem to be solved with
something such as --no-same-user?
Hello,
Hello,
The switch is --no-overwrite-dir
No it is not:
no-same-owner
Oh, I understand now, it is just that the user in the unpacked directory
is not "root". What is the problem then, if building as root?
And why unpacking as root if not building as root?
So I do not think we should care about people unpacking and /or
building as "root": they have been warned...
I always care about people, whether warned or not...
Do not laugh at my English ;-) . I mean that we cannot encompass all
the cases outside those we propose!
So if we put instructions on the page, which suppose that you have not
yet unpacked (as would be the use of that switch), it is against that
general principle and should be at least properly advertised.
That is what I was thinking: properly advertise.
If you do that for this package, you have to find out all the packages that
do the same and advertise them, then... That is, "tar -tvf" all the packages
and advertise those which have lines with do not contain "root/root".
Then putting extracting instructions onto the page for some packages
and not others will prevent any automation (it looks like the libreoffice
case may be an exception). I do use automation
for checking what is written in the book, which sometimes differs
from what the editors think is in the book. This kind of check will
be made nearly impossible.
