Description Boris Samorodov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2009-05-11 20:50:01 UTC
	After default installation of net/skype a normal user can not
	run the skype binary:
	-----
	h30% skype
	/usr/local/bin/skype: /usr/local/share/skype/skype: Permission denied
	h30% ls -ld /usr/local/share/skype
	drwx------  6 root  wheel  512 11 May 23:32 /usr/local/share/skype
	-----

Fix: 

Fix the directory permissions.

something is wrong with your local system. I can't confirm that.
Comment 3 Boris B.Samorodov 2009-05-11 22:14:12 UTC
Hm, I have:

ATTENTION!

Skype requires at least linux_base-fc6
which is NOT default at this time.
If you don't have that version or above installed,
hit 'control c' now!

Please read /usr/ports/UPDATING 20080318

So "find ... | cpio ..." produces that directory. I'm not sure where to
investigate further. All other directories at /usr/local/share are fine.

Comment 4 Boris B.Samorodov 2009-05-12 09:38:00 UTC
I reproduced it at another 7.x machine:
-----
% uname -a
FreeBSD ns.bsam.ru 7.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE #1: Tue May  5 11:41:59 MSD 2009     root@ns.bsam.ru:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
% ls -ld /usr/local/share/skype
drwx------  6 root  wheel  512 12 май 12:20 /usr/local/share/skype
-----

That seems to be a problem with gnu cpio which is used at 7.x and below.
At 8-current I can't reproduce this error (it uses BSD cpio).

The following patch helps here (just create ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}
before doing ${COPYTREE_SHARE}):

BTW, the package is not affected, no need to bump PORTREVISION.

  FreeBSD ports repository

  Modified files:
    net/skype            Makefile 
  Log:
  Create ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR} before doing ${COPYTREE_SHARE}.
  Without this step installing the port at 7.x has the effect:
  -----
  % ls -ld /usr/local/share/skype
  drwx------  6 root  wheel  512 12 May 12:20 /usr/local/share/skype
  % skype
  /usr/local/bin/skype: /usr/local/share/skype/skype: Permission denied
  -----
  FreeBSD 8.x is not affected since it uses BSD cpio (at ${COPYTREE_SHARE})
  which behaves as expected.
  
  Note: packages are not affected, no PORTREVISION bump.
