Hello!
I'm trying to understand a weird permissions related error that a user of one
of my custom ports is getting and I cannot yet reproduce.
In a nutshell: this port uses an automatically generated subport (a "devport")
for which I create the destroot as part of the main port's post-destroot.
That's essentially a file move operation but of course the devport workdir has
to exist. I haven't yet figured out how to create that directory manually so I
use `system "port -n -vd fetch $devport"` to take care of that. I have tested
about all possible scenarios I could think of on my end, but this user is
getting the error below that cannot explain.
`sudo port destroot acl` means that the post-destroot stage is executed as
root; indeed I already fixed a previous error in that same github ticket by
deleting the "offending" file preventively in the post-destroot. If the fetch
phase is de-escalated to and executed as $macports_user then this should apply
to both the main and the devport, which means that (in this case)
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_site-ports_sysutils_acl should be
owned by $macports_user too.
I'm aware that I'm not running the latest "base" version yet but I haven't seen
any changes to the code that could explain these symptoms ... are we maybe
dealing with some of the magic Apple sandboxing on their more recent OS
versions, here? It's either that or I'm overlooking something really (too)
obvious ...
Maybe just deconstruct the main port's ${workdir} to build my the devport's
workdir with my own code?
Thanks,
R.
