Package: buildbot
Version: 0.8.12-3.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
the postinst script performs the following task:
# Fix permissions on $HOME_DIR recursively
chown -R $USER_NAME: $HOME_DIR
This is unnecessary on my system, as all the files are correctly owned,
but the real issue is that .I have almost 2 million files in that directory,
so the operation is taking ages: each package upgrade stops the build
system for several minutes, which I would like to avoid if possible.
Also I am not sure the package should change my file permissions if I
decide that not everything in that directory belongs to the buildbot user.
Could this task be performed conditionally maybe? For instance, if the
buildbot user already exists at configure time.
Regards,
--
Sam.
