commons-fileupload: Directory /var/root/.maven/repository creation was not successful for an unknown reason

[nic@…]

I've done:

sudo port clean all
sudo port install tomcat5

I get:

:info:build /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_java_commons-fileupload/commons-fileupload/work/commons-fileupload-1.2.1-src/build.xml:54: Directory /var/root/.maven/repository creation was not successful for an unknown reason

MacPorts 2.0.0 drops privileges to an unprivileged user who does not have permission to create that directory. The port should not be attempting to create that directory and should be fixed to not do so.

Is there a temporary workaround since this is blocking an install of tomcat5

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Appending build.asroot=yes to the command line would probably work around.

Confirmed - "sudo port install tomcat5 build.asroot=yes" got commons-fileupload installed :)
