When I set PORT_LOGDIR in make.conf, some (not all) emerges fail with access violations (e.g. open_wr: /dev/stderr). When PORT_LOGDIR is unset, they all work fine. Some ebuilds for which this is a problem: ffmpeg-0.4.9, xine-lib-1.0.1-r4 Not a problem for: nano-1.3.7 Upgrading sandbox from 1.2.12 to 1.2.17 had no noticeable effect. Permissions on log directory: drwxrws--- (set by portage) I will attach a sample build log. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/buildlogs" to make.conf 2. Attepmt emerge of certain ebuilds (e.g. ffmpeg) 3.

Ie, portage not adding that dir to SANDBOX_WRITE.
Created attachment 74653 [details] ffmpeg build log with PORT_LOGDIR set This is a build log from attempting to re-emerge ffmpeg with PORT_LOGDIR set. Note that this is only one example, other emerges fail in the same way. These same ebuilds emerge fine with PORT_LOGDIR unset, but of course there's no log to attach. :-)
Created attachment 74660 [details] lm_sensors build log with PORT_LOGDIR set This is just another example of an emerge that fails when, and only when, PORT_LOGDIR is set. Also, this was done after upgrading portage to 2.0.53 (still using sandbox-1.2.17).
/usr/portage/eclass/flag-o-matic.eclass: line 408: /dev/stderr: Permission denied Apparently you don't have the correct version of flag-o-matic.eclass because when I build ffmpeg it gives the the above error (different line number), but without a sandbox violation due to addwrite "/dev/stderr" being in the correct version of the eclass. Do you have eclass in RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM or something?
Doh, emerge sync seems to have fixed it. Actually, it appears my previous sync was the day before the eclass was fixed, and I would have synced again except that I was trying to maintain a mostly unchanged state to diagnose and fix some other problems I was dealing with. Oh well, sorry for the trouble.
