Re: [pacman-dev] Missing sanity checks for path -> weird behaviors and segfaults

If Root isn't specified, paths like (null)var/ will be created. I think pacman should either default to / for Root, or just fail if it isn't set. The backend (although I think this is a frontend problem :) should do

if ( stat(rootdir, &buf) != 0 || ! S_ISDIR(&buf->st_mode) ) Ooops invalid root directory.... Doesn't the frontend already default to / or are you talking about a case where rootdir='' in pacman.conf? Andrew
