Hi folks, I was looking over some of GWN older tips and found this interesting nugget. "Privilege Separation in Portage" http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20030428-newsletter.xml
However, after following the directions and trying to emerge xfsprogs I get this strange error: # emerge xfsprogs Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/xfsprogs-2.3.9 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) xfsprogs-2.3.9.src.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking xfsprogs-2.3.9.src.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/xfsprogs-2.3.9/work /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 24: include/builddefs.in: Permission denied !!! ERROR: sys-apps/xfsprogs-2.3.9 failed. !!! Function src_unpack, Line 27, Exitcode 1 !!! sed failed So I changed the permissions of /usr/sbin/ebuild* to portage:portage and tried again, but this achieved the exact same result... I dont know what else to do. Any sudgestions? -- First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win. -- Mohandas Ghandi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
