Hmmm... this sounds pretty cool. I didn't find this solution myself for some reason, because all of the guides dealing with dh_fixperms I Googled were probably from the pre-CDBS era. > > As I mentioned in the previous email, the file only gets packaged if > > arch is Linux via mc.install.linux, so do you think it's a good idea to > > chgrp || true in such a case unconditionally? > > No, because this does not give the admin the chance to override the > permissions by using dpkg-statoverride himself. If course I meant only if it's not on dpkg-statoverride --list already. OK, then I will do the following: 1) DEB_FIXPERMS_EXCLUDE := /usr/lib/mc/cons.saver 2) In binary-post-install/mc give it SGID and change the group 3) Remove all arch checks for now (will use uname -s when it's needed in the future to detect kfreebsd) 4) Remove all dpkg-statoverride stuff as it's not needed in this case. Thank you all very much for your help. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V. Zaytsev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
