Hi all, I'm working on fixing a `py-tensorflow` port issue (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/55972) and I've found the following problem when building `py-protobuf3`:
---> Building py36-protobuf3 Error: Failed to build py36-protobuf3: command execution failed The log shows the following: :info:build Executing: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_enrico_repos_github_macports-ports_python_py-protobuf3/py36-protobuf3/work/protobuf-3.5.1/python" && /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6 setup.py --no-user-cfg build :debug:build system: cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_enrico_repos_github_macports-ports_python_py-protobuf3/py36-protobuf3/work/protobuf-3.5.1/python" && /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6 setup.py --no-user-cfg build :info:build Traceback (most recent call last): :info:build File "setup.py", line 12, in <module> :info:build from setuptools import setup, Extension, find_packages [...snip...] :info:build PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/absl_py-0.1.11-py3.6.egg-info/PKG-INFO' The `py-absl` port is a new port that I've added while fixing this issue. The `PKG-INFO` file referred to in the log message has the following permissions: -rw-r----- 1 root wheel 889 Mar 23 10:04 /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/absl_py-0.1.11-py3.6.egg-info/PKG-INFO I've verified that adding o+r to the permissions fixes the build issue: chmod o+r /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/absl_py-0.1.11-py3.6.egg-info/PKG-INFO So far so good. The question now is: what's the best practice to fix _that_ file permissions in the `Portfile`? The `Portfile` is trivial, uses the `python 1.0` port group and the installation is taken care of by `setuptools`. Plus, I'm kind of a Python noob. Is this an installation issue which should be fixed in any one of {upstream, setuptools, python port group, elsewhere}? Or should I just fix the permissions in the `Portfile` by running `chmod` manually? In the latter case, I've tried to guess what variables to use to refer to that path on the `post-destroot` phase but I couldn't find the answer. Thanks for you guidance, -- Enrico
