Old Synopsis: install(1): install -d reports success on failure New Synopsis: [patch] install(1): install -d reports success on failure
State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-By: vwe State-Changed-When: Sat Aug 21 19:42:44 UTC 2010 State-Changed-Why: I'm somewhat undecided about this report. IMO if a tool is being told to do one thing and it can't be done, it can be seen as a failure. If install is able to install a file / directory but isn't able to set modes or owner (when told do set them), it should be seen as a failed job (do everything right or signal error, but not do half the way right). Changing that may break a lot of places where install is being used. I've created a patch for that which is signalling a failure if mode or owner can't be set only when -T has been given. The patch can be found at: http://people.freebsd.org/~vwe/files/patches/pr139314_xinstall.diff but I'm really not happy about that. Either use something similar to my patch or we can close this PR as WONTFIX. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=139314 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
