Hi all,
I submitted a PR to the git port [1] that creates a global gitconfig
file at /opt/local/etc/gitconfig when the credential_osxkeychain variant
is enabled. I noticed today that when I installed the new version, the
file was created but had no contents:
$ ls -l /opt/local/etc/gitconfig
-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 0 May 15 11:48 /opt/local/etc/gitconfig
$ cat /opt/local/etc/gitconfig
$
And indeed, the file in the tbz2 archive is empty as well:
$ mkdir ~/tmp
$ tar -C ~/tmp -xf
/opt/local/var/macports/software/git/git-2.31.1_1+credential_osxkeychain+diff_highlight+doc+pcre+perl5_28.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2
$ cat ~/tmp/opt/local/etc/gitconfig
$
However, if I run `sudo port -k install git` and inspect the destroot
directory, the file has the correct contents:
$ cat
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_git/git/work/destroot/opt/local/etc/gitconfig
[credential]
helper = osxkeychain
For some reason during the install phase the file is being truncated.
Bizarrely, if I uninstall and reinstall the port from the existing
destroot, the file then has the correct contents:
$ sudo port uninstall git
$ sudo port -k install git

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Can anyone reproduce this?
