>Description:
Many ports make use of chown user.group file over user:group. This change
in current (?) breaks many ports' installations.
I came across this while installing the docproj metaport.
docbook-300 and many other ports contain the following (or similar) line
in their Makefile:
@${CHOWN} -R ${SHAREOWN}.${SHAREGRP} ${INSTDIR}
The '.' causes the installation to fail.
The revision in question is:
revision 1.7
date: 2001/05/31 19:30:19; author: obrien; state: Exp; lines: +1 -2
Starting with 5.0-R, do not support `.' as a owner / group delimiter.
>How-To-Repeat:
make install a port using chown .
>Fix:
Change all the Makefiles to use ':'s instead of '.'s
