How do I get elevated privileges in a “pre-pkg” block?
In a thread a couple of days ago, it was pointed out that “pkg” and “mpkg” are
phases and that one can have a pre-pkg or post-mpkg block. I want to include a
copy of daemondo in an mpkg and it looks like all I need to do is copy the
executable into the destroot. The pkg phase will then then create an installer
component including it and mpkg will add that to the meta package. I’ve been
testing this with the gforth port just to work out the concept.
The offending block is:
pre-pkg {
xinstall -m 644 ${prefix}/bin/daemondo ${destroot}${prefix}/bin/
}
resulting in:
Error: org.macports.pkg for port gforth returned: xinstall: Unable to create
new file for:
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_craigtreleaven_mp_ports_lang_gforth/gforth/work/destroot/opt/local/bin//daemondo,
Permission denied
DEBUG: Error code: NONE
I’ve tried adding:
pkg.asroot yes
to my portfile but that seems to be unrecognized.
Is there a way around this?
