Bug 123280 – lighttpd user/group adding issues

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris White (RETIRED) 2006-02-18 07:42:22 UTC]

In the latest stable for all arches (lighttpd-1.3.16) the following exists:

pkg_setup() {
    enewgroup lighttpd
    enewuser lighttpd -1 -1 "${LIGHTTPD_DIR}" lighttpd
}

This needs to be put in pkg_postinst, otherwise users will have a dangling user/group if the compile should file. In the latests unstable (lighttpd-1.3.16), the following exists:

pkg_preinst() {
    enewgroup lighttpd
    enewuser lighttpd -1 -1 /var/www/localhost/htdocs lighttpd
    fowners lighttpd:lighttpd /var/l{ib,og}/lighttpd
}

This should also go into postinst as src_install has the probability of failing as well.

moved to pkg_postinst in 1.4.10-r1.
