Bug 32073 – ZODB (Zope) packing requires to twick folder ownership

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Axxackall 2003-10-26 17:07:41 UTC]

Packing of ZODB requires temporary to change ownership of
/var/lib/zope/zope-2_6_1/var from zope to root.
However, the Zserver won't start if that folder belongs to zope rather than root.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to ZMI
2. pack ZODB and see that it fails
3. chown zope /var/lib/zope/zope-2_6_1/var
4. pack ZODB again and see that it packs successfully now.
5. still in ZODB, restart the server (or from CLI) and see it doesn't restart.
6. chown root /var/lib/zope/zope-2_6_1/var
7. /etc/init.d/zope-2_6_1 restart and see that now it's restarted successfully


Actual Results:  
As for now packing and restarting require different (and mutually exclusive!)
ownership of /var/lib/zope/zope-2_6_1/var

Expected Results:  
packing and restarting should work being called from inside ZMI without any
twicking filesystem permission/ownership

# emerge -pv zope
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

fixed in dev-zope/zope-2.6.2

(just add zope to the zop_2_6_2 group)
