[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-23273) RPM post-install should not do a "chown -R ${JENKINS_USER:-jenkins} ${JENKINS_HOME:-/var/lib/jenkins}"

[dan...@beckweb.net (JIRA)]

Daniel Beck commented on JENKINS-23273 RPM post-install should not do a "chown -R ${JENKINS_USER:-jenkins} ${JENKINS_HOME:-/var/lib/jenkins}" I disagree that the behaviour should be removed. In a setting where Jenkins is run by a different user than "jenkins", this behaviour is absolutely required. Doesn't Jenkins fail to boot if it cannot write to its home directory? A sane solution would be printing a warning if Jenkins is configured for a different user than owns the directory, or only chown-R'ing if the owner of JENKINS_HOME is different than expected – but not unconditionally. If only some files below JENKINS_HOME are owned by a different user, it's either intentional, or you broke it in some drunken craze, and I don't think the installer needs to fix it in either case.
