ginstall (coreutils) doesn't work properly on Leopard

[johan@…]

A clean leopard install and a fresh macports:

using the builtin ginstall (/usr/bin/ginstall) instead of the one in /opt and every port, so far, destroots fine

[takanori@…]

Seems that this is ginstall's problem.

What's the real problem here and what's at fault? Is it a base or ports bug? Not sure why I was Cc'd...

What's the real problem here and what's at fault? Is it a base or ports bug?

It's a port bug. ginstall breaks lots of ports installation, like:

Not sure why I was Cc'd...

Since you committed a related change in r27063, I cc'd you just in case. (But that was maybe not so proper..)

The ginstall problem is due to it not working with the Leopard version of ACL...

Moving ginstall aside (or unintalling coreutils) works around the install problem. Using the MacPorts 1.6 base from trunk also works, since it uses /usr/bin/install.

[afb@…]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>

int main()
{
  acl_t acl = acl_from_text("u::rw-,g::---,o::---");
  if (acl == NULL)
    fprintf(stderr,"acl_from_text: %s\n", strerror(errno));
  return 0;
}

[afb@…]

Suggestion: disable ACL for coreutils.

platform darwin 9 {
    configure.env-append    jm_cv_func_svid_putenv=yes
    configure.env-append    ac_cv_header_sys_acl_h=no
}

I encountered the same issue with ginstall after a new install of Leopard.

Steps to install latest MacPorts from subversion source:

$ svn checkout ​http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/trunk/base macports-trunk

$ cd macports-trunk

$ ./configure

$ make

$ sudo rm -rf /opt/local

$ sudo make install

$ sudo port sync

$ sudo port install <package of your choice>

[afb@…]

Patch was applied in r30465. (Trac refused to save this comment)

[afb@…]

Revision increased in r30529, didn't do that earlier.

Flagging as "fixed" for now, ACL can be fixed "later".
