Description of problem: When using mock's cache, buildroot setup fails if the cache was created by a different user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.7.2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. As a user, 'usera', Build a package in mock with 'use_cache' enabled. 2. Let build complete and mock exit. 3. As a user, 'userb', attempt to build a package in the same chroot. mock tries to use the cache created by 'usera', but there are permission problems. Actual results: init clean prep This may take a while unpack cache Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/mock", line 1140, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/mock", line 1137, in main do_rebuild(config_opts, srpms) File "/usr/bin/mock", line 997, in do_rebuild my.prep() File "/usr/bin/mock", line 261, in prep self._prep_install() File "/usr/bin/mock", line 707, in _prep_install yumconf_fo = open(yumconf, 'w+') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mock/centos-5-x86_64/root/etc/yum.conf' Expected results: Permissions should be corrected to allow multiple users to use the same mock root cache, or if that is not possible, mock should ignore the unusable cache file and re-create the build root from scratch. Additional info: This happens, for example, because I have a machine setup as a plague builder which calls mock as the plague-builder user. If I try to call mock from my account for a build root which plague has created the cache for, I will see the error.
Jeff, we've been through a fairly massive rework of mock and part of what we did was to try and make it handle multiple users and caching sanely. Would you try the 0.9.7+ version of mock and see if has fixed this problem?
ping?
Working great now with mock-0.9.9-1.fc9.noarch Thanks!
thanks, closing...
