Bug ID: 275449
Summary: certctl: changed link flags lead to inconsistencies
when installing into non-standard DESTDIR
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Scenario:
- Virtual machine with UFS / and /usr (separate)
- In it, FreeBSD main at 51e7276365bad2871257ef121cead2c19bcd7434
- Running buildworld buildkernel
- Running installkernel installworld DESTDIR=/usr/tmp/x (the intent is to
install to a temporary directory first to view the changes to the current
installation)
Result:
- The files in /usr/tmp/x/etc/ssl/{certs,untrusted} are hard links to the files
in /usr/tmp/x/usr/share/certs.
- However, the files in /etc/ssl/{certs,untrusted} are (and should be) symbolic
links to those in /usr/share/certs.
- Blindly copying what is in /usr/tmp/x to / would break the hard link,
resulting in duplicate regular files.
The root cause is that in certctl, the argument to "install" has been changed
from "-lrs" to "-lm", leading to destination-dependent results. For the sake of
consistency it would be good to revert this particular change.
