Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev

The portage ebuild's pkg_postinst will have to adjust $PORTDIR permissions, since $PORTDIR may contain mixed permissions (see bug #277970).

This is fixed in git:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=94d4ee45d0944fb112aa701449d7939f29c5ecd6

Since usersync assumes that the permissions of subdirectories are consistent with the top-level ${PORTDIR} permissions, the portage ebuild's pkg_postinst should do something like this:

if $USERSYNC_UPGRADE && [[ -d ${PORTDIR} ]] ; then
  case "${USERLAND}" in
    BSD)
      local ownership=$(stat -f '%Su:%Sg' "${PORTDIR}")
      ;;
    *)
      local ownership=$(stat -c '%U:%G' "${PORTDIR}")
      ;;
  esac
  chown -R "${ownership}" "${PORTDIR}"
fi
