How about just adding HOME=/root (or something slightly more dynamic) to our etckeeper.conf ? it's sourced everywhere and should ensure bzr is always called with the right env ? That doesn't solve the case where people run "sudo bzr diff" or others, but that can probably wait for the fix to land i

[Bug 376388] Re: ~/.bazaar created owned by root (when run under sudo)

I think Parth's patch in https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~parthm/bzr/2.0_376388_dot_bazaar_ownership/+merge/19593 is reasonable and useful for bzr in its own right (review welcome) but probably also etckeeper should run bzr and other programs with HOME set to ~root to avoid the problem altogether.

Thierry's comment in #1 is interesting: >> This is caused by bzr not really supporting to be run under sudo. In config.py:ensure_config_dir_exists it creates $HOME/.bazaar without dropping rights to the $SUDO_USER. Unfortunately the same could be said for all other config-writing functions. I'm n

[Bug 376388] Re: ~/.bazaar created owned by root (when run under sudo)

Please note that this is not a problem with Git / when using Git with etckeeper: Apparently Git does not create the .git dir automatically - which may also be an option for Bazaar. Apart from that, Git behaves the same: $ sudo git config --global user.name "Daniel Hahler" $ ls -l ~/.gitconfig -rw

[Bug 376388] Re: ~/.bazaar created owned by root (when run under sudo)

That leaves two options: 1/ special-casing sudo in configuration file management in bzr 2/ workaround in etckeeper (override HOME in bzr calls in etckeeper ? Pre-create $HOME/.bazaar and $HOME/.bzr.log correctly ?) (2) is certainly simpler, however it will fail to catch the case where the etckeep

We won't make -H the default in sudo; it would break other use cases which rely on having the original $HOME, and general backwards compatibliity. -- ~/.bazaar created owned by root (when run under sudo) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376388 You received this bug notification because you are a m
