Subject: Re: ports/148475: [patch] Mk/bsd.gecko.mk: use tar(1) for copying trees
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:43:39 +0400
BTW, for some odd reason cpio(1) here on /h...@{i386,amd64} doesn't set
ownership and doesn't follow symlinks. So, after building as non-root
installed files retain owner despite `-R ${LIBOWN}:${LIBGRP}'.
Looking at pointyhat log[1] I don't see following symlinks followed
ln -s /work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox3/sdk/lib
/work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox3/lib
ln -s /work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox3
/work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox3/bin
ln -s /work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/include/firefox3
/work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox3/include
ln -s /work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/share/idl/firefox3
/work/a/ports/www/firefox/work/fake/lib/firefox3/idl
This leads me to suspect that `-L' doesn't work there either because
there is no such directories in package[2] but they're in PLIST. And
using tar's `-L' makes it hang because of endless following
FAKEDIR/lib/firefox3/bin -> FAKEDIR/lib/firefox3.
