Package: adduser Version: 3.105 Severity: minor Tags: patch
The original backup code in deluser first writes the tar file, and then compresses it. This patch simply uses some gnu tar options (already required) to accomplish the same. This is useful when backup up over NFS. *** deluser.orig 2007-11-14 15:29:19.000000000 -0800 --- deluser 2007-11-14 15:29:27.000000000 -0800 *************** *** 300,317 **** print $filesfile join("\n",@files); $filesfile->close(); my $tar = &which('tar'); ! &systemcall($tar, "-cf", $backup_name, "--files-from", $filesfilename); ! chmod 0600, $backup_name; ! my $rootid = 0; ! chown $rootid, $rootid, $backup_name; ! unlink($filesfilename); my $bzip2 = &which('bzip2', 1); my $gzip = &which('gzip', 1); if($bzip2) { ! systemcall($bzip2, $backup_name); } elsif($gzip) { ! systemcall($gzip, "--best", $backup_name); } } if(@files || @dirs) { --- 300,322 ---- print $filesfile join("\n",@files); $filesfile->close(); my $tar = &which('tar'); ! ! my $ext = ""; ! my $options = ""; my $bzip2 = &which('bzip2', 1); my $gzip = &which('gzip', 1); if($bzip2) { ! $options .= "--bzip2"; ! $ext = ".bz2"; } elsif($gzip) { ! $options .= "--gzip"; ! $ext = ".gz"; } + &systemcall($tar, "-c" , $options, "-f", $backup_name.$ext, "--files-from", $filesfilename); + chmod 600, $backup_name; + my $rootid = 0; + chown $rootid, $rootid, $backup_name.$ext; + unlink($filesfilename); } if(@files || @dirs) { -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.0.18.1-7 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.8.8-7 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis adduser recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * adduser/homedir-permission: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
