Description
I recently upgraded to MacPorts 2.0.0.
It looks like I have found a MacPorts permission problem now.
Here is an example of a usual workflow when I work with a local port tree.
- Right at the beginning one sees that the install of kdepimlibs4 fails.
- A look at the log file reveals that MacPorts changes gid and uid to 505 and 511 respectively being the macports user.
- dscl shows that marko has uid 502
- ls -l shows that the Portfile should be readable to anyone, BUT IT ISN'T OBVIOUSLY. :-(

What are the permissions on /Users/marko/WC/MacPorts/ports/kde/kdepimlibs4?
comment:4 Changed 13 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)
Nothing unusual:
$ ls -la /Users/marko/WC/MacPorts/ports/kde/kdepimlibs4 total 24 drwxr-xr-x 5 marko staff 170 Jul 24 01:01 . drwxr-xr-x 15 marko staff 510 Jun 19 13:00 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 marko staff 1220 Jul 18 19:31 Portfile -rw-r--r-- 1 marko staff 1220 Jul 18 17:26 Portfile.my

I was wondering if the permission on the directory /Users/marko/WC/MacPorts/ports/kde/kdepimlibs4 had ugo+x so everyone could access.

Can you quite Terminal.app, relaunch Terminal.app and do:
$ ls -la /Users/marko/WC/MacPorts/ports/kde/kdepimlibs4 $ open /Users/marko/WC/MacPorts/ports/kde/kdepimlibs4
Verify that the file Portfile actually exists.

I see, well, I've found now why it happens. A directory higher up had too restrictive permissions which is why this was bound to fail. See my comment in ticket #26094!
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Same basic problem as #26094. I could never reproduce it either…
