Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-10-17 04:18:34 UTC
Again, as note to self.  I've investigating why emirrordist keeps trying to remove distfiles that do not exist.

1. _delete_links() assumes it's going to delete layout 1+ while earlier function removes 0.  However, rename() is done on realpath(), so actually it might have removed another layout.  I'm currently testing a change to remove all layouts.

2. DeletionIterator operates based on the result of stat().  However, stat()'s going to fail for stale symlinks.  I think we should special-case that to support stale symlink cleanup.

Will supply patches later today.

    emirrordist: Delete potential symlinks for all layouts
    
    Unlink for all distfile layouts rather than for all but primary.  This
    wrongly assumed that the primary layout will always be removed
    as a result of earlier code.  However, the rename() call correctly
    assumes that the primary layout may be an old symlink, and operates
    on realpath().  Therefore, the real file from a secondary layout may
    be renamed, leaving dangling symlink.

The DeletionTask patch should prevent stale symlinks yes? I suppose we could still change DeletionIterator to handle stale symlinks anyway...

Yes, that's why I said it's sufficient for a bugfix release.  But I'd like to fix it fully anyway.
