RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marko Myllynen 2012-06-19 09:36:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
createrepo ignores umask for cachedir causing issues when more than one user are updating repositories:

localhost:~> umask 0002
localhost:~> mkdir -p foo/cache foo/repo
localhost:~> cp test.rpm foo/repo/
localhost:~> createrepo -q -c $HOME/foo/cache foo/repo

> are updating repositories:

Not sure how safe this is, the general assumption is that the createrepo cache is for the repo. ... so you'd only run one at once. It's probably fine though (as I think everything uses atomic updates, and we have multiple workers upstream now).

I wouldn't be shocked if this bug was an rpm thing too.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:02:05 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:11:03 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-08-14 21:59:20 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product
Management has requested further review of this request by
Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
Comment 8 Marko Myllynen 2012-09-18 08:52:59 UTC 
Still failing with createrepo-0.9.9-13.el6:

Comment 9 Marko Myllynen 2012-10-05 07:18:20 UTC 
Now with createrepo-0.9.9-14.el6 it's getting better:

localhost:~> rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-14.el6.noarch
localhost:~> rpm -V createrepo
localhost:~> umask 0002
localhost:~> rm -rf foo
localhost:~> mkdir -p foo/cache foo/repo
localhost:~> cp $HOME/createrepo-0.9.9-14.el6.noarch.rpm foo/repo/
localhost:~> createrepo -q -c $HOME/foo/cache foo/repo
localhost:~> ls -al $HOME/foo/cache
total 12K

localhost:~> 

Note that after "umask 0002" one would expect files created not being executable.

However, since the group write permission is correct, I'll leave it up to others to decide whether this is ok as-is or not.

Thanks.
Comment 10 Karel Srot 2012-10-05 07:59:30 UTC 
I agree with Marko, createrepo should not create executable files.

James, can you fix that?
Comment 11 James Antill 2012-10-05 18:13:23 UTC 
Yeh, n/p. I just used (0777 ^ umask) without thinking much about it.
Comment 12 Marko Myllynen 2012-10-08 06:35:13 UTC 
Thanks, I'm happy to confirm that createrepo-0.9.9-15.el6 works perfectly!
