[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#957206: EXTERNAL: Re: Bug#957206: New upstream version available (Was: Bug#957206: fis-gtm: ftbfs with GCC-10)

Tue Dec 1 18:48:47 GMT 2020

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for sending that part of the build log. The issue is that the gtminstall script wants to be run as root hence the message "Non-root installations not currently supported". On my machine, I ran git-buildpackage as root (ick!) and forgot that I did that. In the past, this configuration requirement (the root user) worked. The root user requirement was something we did for expedience back in 2016. The install script requires root so that it can set the permissions on a setuid root program, gtmsecshr, that GT.M uses to facility inter-process communication between separate users, e.g. sending a SIGCONT or updating DB headers when the active user has read-only access.

I'm currently reading through the following:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/index.en.html

Please let me know if you know what one must do to make a process setuid root the Debian way.

Thanks,
Amul

Hi Amul,

thanks for the quick response.  Unfortunately the package does not build
successfully yet:

Non-root installations not currently supported
gtminstall [option] ... [version]
Options are:
--build-type buildtype - * type of GT.M build, default is pro
--copyenv dirname - copy gtmprofile and gtmcshrc files to dirname; incompatible with linkenv
--copyexec dirname - copy gtm script to dirname; incompatible with linkexec
--debug - * turn on debugging with set -x
--distrib dirname or URL - source directory for GT.M distribution tarball, local or remote
--filename filename - name of GT.M distribution tarball
--dry-run - do everything short of installing GT.M, including downloading the distribution
--group group - group that should own the GT.M installation
--group-restriction - limit execution to a group; defaults to unlimited if not specified
--help - print this usage information
--installdir dirname - directory where GT.M is to be installed; defaults to /usr/lib/fis-gtm/version_platform
--keep-obj - keep .o files of M routines (normally deleted on platforms with GT.M support for routines in shared libraries)
--linkenv dirname - create link in dirname to gtmprofile and gtmcshrc files; incompatible with copyenv
--linkexec dirname - create link in dirname to gtm script; incompatible with copyexec
--noprompt-for-sys-cfg - do not prompt to adjust OS configuration files
--overwrite-existing - install into an existing directory, overwriting contents; defaults to requiring new directory
--prompt-for-group - * GT.M installation script will prompt for group; default is yes for production releases V5.4-002 or later, no for all others
--ucaseonly-utils -- install only upper case utility program names; defaults to both if not specified
--user username - user who should own GT.M installation; default is root
--utf8 ICU_version - install UTF-8 support using specified  major.minor ICU version; specify default to use default version
--verbose - * output diagnostic information as the script executes; default is to run quietly
options that take a value (e.g, --group) can be specified as either --option=value or --option value
options marked with * are likely to be of interest primarily to GT.M developers
version is defaulted from mumps file if one exists in the same directory as the installer
This version must run as root.

make: *** [debian/rules:21: binary] Error 2

Any clue what to do next?

Kind regards

I made the necessary changes and tested the build (GCC-10) on my Debian unstable machine. I pushed the changes. Please let me know if there is more work to do. I have free time.
