[gentoo-dev] root:root and fbsd
Hi, ok another problem for Gentoo/FreeBSD project :P Currently there are a few places where, to fix permissions of files, the ebuilds does a chown -R root:root ${D} or something similar. Unfortunately such a command is invalid on G/FBSD because there's no root group, instead wheel group has GID=0. So I was wondering for a solution for this problem: we have a $USERLAND variable which can be used to select the way the chown must be done, if chown root:root or chown root:wheel; I think both BSD and Darwin userland prefers root:wheel above root:root, so maybe adding a function in eutils which fixes the permissions based on the current $USERLAND value is enough...

That dir isn't available at that point.
