Subject: Re: bin/112673: [patch] pkg_add(1): pkg_add -S leaks the temp dir
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 23:33:30 -0700
Hi John,
(No one has replied to this PR yet in the past 3 years, so I
figure I should).
Yes, I've noted the same as well with my toying around with
pkg_install over the past couple of days. Something's rotten in terms
of how the directories are pushed and popped, in fact because many
times it's not properly pushing and popping the directories in the
correct / respective order.
Your patch may resolve this issue, but I'm concerned about the
case where a tainted directory hasn't been properly cleaned up and
thus you get some of the contents of package A along with the contents
of package B in the same directory, instead of properly resolving the
root cause.
I'll keep this bug in mind and look at proposing a solution
sometime in the next couple of weeks.
And the rewrite isn't completely off -- it's just been put on
hold until this stuff is fixed :).
Thanks,
-Garrett
