 |
|
Hi there everyone!
I seem to be having a problem with a shared resource of distfiles.
What I want to achieve is the following: have all my distfiles on a Windows 2K3 box. I'ld like to mount that dir on the Win2K3 box to /usr/portage/distfiles on my laptop and my main gentoo box.
So far everything works fine! The files are shared, and they're all accessible. Emerging packages works like a charm!edit:errr I was wrong... emerging already fetched packages doesn't work either... 
However, when I try to emerge new packages (eg man-pages), I get a weird error, saying that I don't have the right permissions. I do have read, write permissions to the shared dir though...
here's what the relevant part of my /etc/fstab looks like: (pls also note that /usr/portage/distfiles is a symlink to /home/distfiles, as that was extremely useful in case of a reinstall  )
| Code: |
//neuroserver/distfiles /home/distfiles cifs auto,credentials=/etc/credentials,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,gid=250 0 0
|
And the error I get when fetching a new package:
| Code: |
# emerge --fetchonly man-pages
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/man-pages-2.15 to /
*** Adjusting cvs-src permissions for portage user...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 3200, in ?
mydepgraph.merge(mydepgraph.altlist())
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 1859, in merge
retval=portage.doebuild(y,"fetch",myroot,self.pkgsettings,edebug,("--pretend" in myopts),fetchonly=1)

if mydo!="manifest" and not fetch(fetchme, mysettings, listonly=listonly, fetchonly=fetchonly):
File "/usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py", line 1791, in fetch
raise oe
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/portage/distfiles'
|
the permissions on /usr/portage/distfiles:
| Code: |
# ls -l |grep distfiles
drwxr-xr-x 1 root portage 0 dec 14 22:19 distfiles
|
Is it impossible to achieve what I want? I could of course just setup an NFS server on my main gentoo box, but I actually really want to fix the issue at hand. My gentoo box is not up all the time, as I need it for developping in VB .NET
The main server (the win2K3 box) ccould be replaced with a gentoo box, but I don't have the time atm to compile everything on a P2 400...
Thanks for any advice / insight

thanks for that man!
chmod 0775 didn't work, but 2775 actually does work! I get a little warning
| Code: |
WARNING: 'dir_mode' not expressed in octal.
|
However, it actually DOES work, so I'll just accept this warning, and carry on with it
Thanks again for the help! |
