Bug ID: 360734
Summary: creation of a bogus share directory with root
ownership in the source location
Product: extra-cmake-modules
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: alex.me...@kde.org
Reporter: paol...@dmf.unicatt.it
CC: ecm-bugs-n...@kde.org
At the "make install" stage of (e.g.) kig package a small directory structure
starting with
"share" is created in the sources root. This has the ownership of the issuer
of "make install"
(typically "root") inside a directory structure that typically is owned by a
normal user.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. git clone g...@git.kde.org:kig
2. cd kig
3. cmake . [options]
4. make
5. make install
Actual Results:
$ pwd
/home/matem/paolini/Git/kdeedu/kig
$ ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x 21 paolini matem 4096 19 mar 14.25 .
$ ls -ld share # this directory shouldn't even be there!
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 19 mar 15.00 share
Expected Results:
There should be anything owned by root in the users home directory!
in
function(_ecm_update_iconcache installdir theme)
I find these two commands:
file(WRITE \"${installdir}/${theme}/temp.txt\" \"update\")
file(REMOVE \"${installdir}/${theme}/temp.txt\")
They are apparently missing a ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/ prefix... I am not sure
what is the purpose of temp.txt, perhaps it is some kind of lock file...
however it shouldn't use the source tree. It might even be impossible for
"root" to write here, e.g. in case of an NFS-mounted home, where "root" is
typically mapped into the "nfsnobody" user on the NFS server.
The bug report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360614 is where the problem
was first spotted.
