Re: Git 1.3.2 on Solaris

Hi Jason,

2006/5/17, Jason Riedy [off-list ref]:

And pkgsrc itself works just fine without the silly g prefix,
or at least does for me as a mere user (and as well as it does
work).  But if you intend on adding the package upstream, it'll
need something to cope with the g.  And pkgsrc handles local
patches...

Well I had some problems on NetBSD without the g prefix for the
gnu coreutils - since then I always used that prefix.

But now I have a completely different problem with the tests on
solaris. It seems on solaris access() always returns 0 if a file is
existant and the effective uid is 0.

so:

--- snip ---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf ("access: %d\n", access("/etc/motd", X_OK));
  return 0;
}

--- snap ---

will return 0 on solaris - when run as root, even though /etc/motd
is not executeable. This seems to break hooks on Solaris - but
I'm not sure if this is only a Solaris Express bug. (I have no Solaris
10 system to verify it)

bye

Stefan
