Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2017-01-12 17:37:00 UTC
QA: other
QA Notice: This ebuild installs into paths that should be created at runtime.
 To fix, simply do not install into these directories.  Instead, your package
 should create dirs on the fly at runtime as needed via init scripts/etc...

  var/cache
  var/cache/modsecurity
  var/cache/modsecurity/.keep_www-apache_mod_security-0
QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it
           may exhibit random runtime failures.
msc_tree.c:851:19: warning: implicit declaration of function 'inet_pton' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA
issues directly to the upstream developers of this software.

Comment 1 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2017-05-08 01:52:26 UTC
This is fixed in v2.9.1, by using /var/lib/modsecurity instead of /var/cache/modsecurity. That's a better place for it anyway.
