svn co in fakeroot [solution inside]

dp · 2004-10-06 23:14:39

trying to checkout sometihng with svn out of fakeroot, i realized that this will not work:

# $Id: PKGBUILD,v 1.3 2004/07/25 10:25:54 damir Exp $
# Maintainer: damir <damir@archlinux.org>
# Contributor: damir <damir@archlinux.org>

pkgname=pingus-devel
pkgver=0.7.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a free Lemmings clone"
depends=('libxml2' 'clanlib')
url="http://pingus.seul.org"

source=($url/files/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)

build() {
  mkdir cd $startdir/src/pingus-svn
  cd $startdir/src/pingus-svn
  svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/pingus/trunk/

  #cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  #./configure --prefix=/usr
  #
  #make || return 1
  #make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

trouble:

==> Starting build()...
svn: Can't check path '/root/.subversion': Permission denied
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

this is logical, because fakeroot is not root, but is there a trick to make svn work inside build() of PKGBUILD?

i doubt it ... well unless you want to compromise your passwd.

why not use:
http://pingus.seul.org/files/pingus-0.6.0.tar.bz2
as the source?

Or try svn export.

I haven't had this problem with namcap or srcpac...

because it needs clanlib 0.6 and we are running 0.7 (the HEAD _should_ work with 0.7)

the same:

svn: Can't check path '/root/.subversion': Permission denied

the problem was:

/root was drwxr-x--- and fakeroot was not able to enter it

the solution:

make /root world r and x (open the door)

the trouble: it is a security risk to let users know what is in /root ... on my private machine this does not matter, but it is not recomendend to set /root world-readable on a public machine

You should just be able to set +x but not +r. svn just needs to be able to get through /root, not look in it.

This thread is pretty old, but I think a better solution is to use the --config-dir option, optionally with --no-auth-cache.

svn --config-dir $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/pingus/trunk/
