We have seen that the ownership of some files in rpm packages have changed from UID:GID e.g root:viewer to root:root. The do_install task was producing correct/expected output but when the files are being put in a rpm package, they changed ownership. I have run git bisect and managed to isolate the commit that was triggering the problem (commit with SHA1 6f7943 for meta/lib/oe/package.py): - stripcmd = "'%s' %s '%s'" % (strip, extraflags, file) + # Use mv to break hardlinks + stripcmd = "'%s' %s '%s' -o '%s.tmp' && mv '%s.tmp' '%s'" % (strip, extraflags, file, file, file, file) If I change that line to this instead: stripcmd = "'%s' %s '%s' -o '%s.tmp' && chown --reference='%s' '%s.tmp' && mv '%s.tmp' '%s'" % (strip, extraflags, file, file, file, file, file, file) Then, the ownership is kept as expected. I have also checked that the problem is also on master. If you confirm that this can be an issue, I can send a patch today with the suggested solution. /Fabrice 49387 1 sgw 2015-03-12 00:36:27 +0000 Please go ahead and send the patch if you have not already, for inclusion in Dizzy also. Should to go master and dizzy probably. 49787 2 fabrice.coulon 2015-03-26 09:13:54 +0000 I've seen the fix has been pushed to master branch but could you also make it available on the Dizzy branch of Poky? 51001 3 bluelightning 2015-05-14 15:02:51 +0000 For reference the fix merged to master was this one: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=1e34e71e0f6752ec33eb4b30ce72f249b80e9a5d Since this got stalled I'll do the backport and send it for dizzy. 51050 4 bluelightning 2015-05-15 15:34:53 +0000 dizzy patch posted for review. 51087 5 bluelightning 2015-05-18 16:22:50 +0000 Fix has now been merged into the dizzy branch also: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?h=dizzy&id=6adbd2deb92a4159106b78fe880d97ac7e686e95 Marking as resolved.
