Any git command run during the src_install() phase will fail with: --- fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/blender-9999/work/blender-9999' To add an exception for this directory, call: git config --global --add safe.directory /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/blender-9999/work/blender-9999 --- This is because the .git folder and its content is owned by the portage user while we are root during the install phase. This can be reproduced but simply unpacking a git live package and running "git log" in the working directory.
Seems like git 2.36 add this option: git config --global --add safe.directory '*' Then every directory on the system will be regarded as safe and will effectively disable this check. The "safe directory" check was added in 2.35.2 do fix a security issue: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/security/advisories/GHSA-vw2c-22j4-2fh2 I don't think this security issue is affecting us.
Could you test the patch from the linked PR?
Seems to work fine for me. Thanks for the fix!
