[arch-dev-public] [signoff] filesystem-2008.07-1
I uploaded a new filesystem package to testing: * added http user and group (for use by various webserver related packages) * an updated apache is on its way * added scanner group (ask Thomas ;-)) * use /srv instead of /home for http and ftp * no package should own files within /home Pierre -- http://www.archlinux.de

This is GREAT. It's been annoying me for years. One question: Doesn't this need to be synchronized with some changes to the apache package, changing the default document directory and warning those who need to make the switch? - P

That's allready done. ;-) I don't think users are forced to switch; the config files are kept and using "/home/httpd" and "nobody" should still work. -- http://www.archlinux.de

I guess that's what I'm talking about. As long as the default doc dir for apache is /home/httpd/html, then either: 1) Apache doesn't work out of the box. 2) Apache tries to own files on my non-root-squashed nfs /home partition. I think we need to change the default location to /srv/httpd/html in the default apache config-- and people with existing custom configs wouldn't have theirs overwritten. - P

Have a look at apache in testing. All this has been done allready. -- http://www.archlinux.de

When running updatedb after installing the new filesystem package i get updatedb: can not find group 'locate'. It seems like the locate group is created by the mlocate package post installation. http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/mlocate/repos/core-x86_64/mlocate.inst... Is there any reason this group isnt present in the filesystem package? Greg

Correct, this should be in the filesystem package.

When running updatedb after installing the new filesystem package i get updatedb: can not find group 'locate'. It seems like the locate group is created by the mlocate package post installation. http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/mlocate/repos/core-x86_64/mlocate.ins tall?view=markup

Are you sure this problem was introduced by my filesystem changes? The locate group still exists here. I ask because this would block the whole db+heimdal move from testing. -- http://www.archlinux.de

Yeah, I mean... /etc/passwd and /etc/group shouldn't be overwritten. This sounds like a hand-merging issue, to me

No, i doubt this was introduced by your changes. Its just /etc/group changed creating a .pacnew file and this was brought up to surface. Im just saying this group should be part of /etc/group by default. At least the way i understand it. Greg
