Bug 63709 – Section of code in 2.0.51_pre23 ebuild gives pages and pages of chmod errors

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Lisa Seelye (RETIRED) 2004-09-11 15:37:59 UTC]

The code in question:

        if [ -d "${ROOT}usr/portage/distfiles" ]; then
                chown -R root:portage "${ROOT}usr/portage/distfiles"
                chmod 0664 "${ROOT}usr/portage/distfiles"/*

                find "${ROOT}usr/portage/distfiles" -type f -maxdepth 1 -print0 | \
                ${XARGS} -0 -n 500 chmod 0644

                chmod 2775 "${ROOT}usr/portage/distfiles"
                chmod 2775 "${ROOT}usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src"
        fi
        if [ -d "${ROOT}/${PORTDIR}/distfiles" ]; then
                chown -R root:portage "${ROOT}/${PORTDIR}/distfiles"

                find "${ROOT}/${PORTDIR}/distfiles" -type f -maxdepth 1 -print0 | \
                ${XARGS} -0 -n 500 chmod 0644

                chmod 2775 "${ROOT}/${PORTDIR}/distfiles"
                chmod 2775 "${ROOT}/${PORTDIR}/distfiles/cvs-src"
        fi

        chown -R root:portage ${ROOT}var/cache/edb
        find ${ROOT}var/cache/edb -type f -print0 | ${XARGS} -0 -n 500 chmod 664




The problem: $DISTDIR is mounted via smbfs and the chmod does not carry though.
The fix:  Either put a &>/dev/null on each chmod or test for network filesystems.
