Summary0013118: CPack DEB generator does not use fakeroot for control.tar.gz
DescriptionWhen automatically using fakeroot see 0010325 CPack DEB
does not use fakeroot for builing the control.tar.gz file
(which is part of the deb package) so that the ownership
in this file is not root/root as it is for data.tar.gz.
Additional InformationOriginal report text:
Though the user and permissions of entries in other tar files can be set via the environment variable TAR_OPTIONS, this is not observed for the control.tar.gz file in a generated debian package.
TagsNo tags attached.

 A consequence of this is that well formed packages are not, under normal circumstances, able to be made by a user other than root.

The solution to this bug could be related to Bug 0011766 , Bug 0012901 .

 Try `fakeroot make package`, see 0010325.

 Hi all,

Daniel is right concerning deb package.
fakeroot cpack -G DEB
should make a perfectly ok package.

Moreover 0010325 shall handle this automatically (since 2.8.6)
for DEB package?

Kiri,
Why would you need mixed root/user ownership inside your deb package?
Is this even recommended for a .deb?

 Waiting for feedback before going any futher because I don't see why we would
need something fancier than automatic fakeroot as provided by 0010325

 Maybe fakeroot is not be available on non-Linux systems. It operates by intercepting system calls - so I would not expect it to be universal. It is not a normal way to do something that requires no root privileges.

MS Windows has tar by MSys http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys [^] .

Apparently Bug 0010325 needs to be re-opened, because fakeroot was installed on the system, but it did not create a correct package.

I my case, I did not wish mixed root/user ownership inside the deb package. The problem is that it happened though it is unwanted. What is mixed is the 2 'tar' files in the 'ar' file. 1 is owned by the user, 1 by root. This is bad.

 Agreed, fakeroot may not be available on non-linux system
I didn't expect someone building a .deb package on anything but a linux system.

Then, you are saying that you build .deb package on Windows + MSYS ?
Where is the produced package installed on a sibling Windows system ?
If the produced package is installed on Linux system, are you
cross-compiling (on a Windows host toward a Linux target) ?

 No, I don't have MS Windows.
I was building on Debian with Debian package building tools installed.

 So you are saying that

1) you build a .deb on Debian system
2) have fakeroot installed
3) get .deb with innappropriate ownership in "control.tar.gz"
   but correct in "data.tar.gz"

Am I right?

Could you try:

"fakeroot cpack -G DEB"

Does this produce a correct w.r.t. ownership .deb package?

 Yes, this is right.
Forseeably, I will be unable to test this within 1 month.

 Ok I can reproduce the error.
I re-worded th e bug report because it was too vague.

I did push a fix for that on stage/CPackDeb-fixFakerootOnControl.
I did test it then pushed to next:

Merge topic 'CPackDeb-fixFakerootOnControl' into next

abc9b32 Use fakeroot for control.tar.gz as well

I think it could be worth an inclusion in 2.8.8 if there is at least
one rc left.
