Issue with yaourt

zephyrus17 · 2009-07-23 04:49:31

Whenever I install something from the AUR I get this:

mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/abs': Permission denied
==> WARNING: Unable to write in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/wine-git directory. Using /tmp directory

Well, just wondering, should I be tweaking this to use /var since I have a separate 5Gb /var partition? Will it be faster or more efficient?

this has been discussed before... here is the author's response to this warning.

Hmmm.. I've tried adding gpasswd -a gary abs, but abs doesn't exist.

So i guess it doesn't affect anything? Yaourt was meant to use /tmp, then?

have you installed abs? if not, look up abs in the wiki to learn about the arch build system.

ummm...is there supposed to be an abs group? There isn't one on any of my installations.

Neither by me. Btw, yaourt is not supported, it's an upstream, please don't use it.

Maybe it's not developer 2009. january correctly, i have got more monthes bugreport without reation.

And so much user experienced bugs in it.
