Package: boinc-client Version: 7.6.31+dfsg-1~bpo8+1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, The boinc daemon runs as user boinc so I expect to gain administration rights adding my user to the boinc group but all configuration files files in the boinc data directory (simlinked in /etc/boinc-client/) are not writable by the group. In addition if I change g+w the files they are restored to the original permissions at avery update of the package. Can you please change permissions of the files (if you think it is normally safe) or just avoid overwriting? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages boinc-client depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii ca-certificates 20141019 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libboinc7 7.6.31+dfsg-1~bpo8+1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libcurl3 7.38.0-4+deb8u3 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 boinc-client recommends no packages.
