Thanks. I agreed with "g-s" but was not sure about "u-s" because nothing is explained about setuid, and the setuid bit against directories seems to have no effect. It was interesting to read this article: https://superuser.com/questions/471844/why-is-setuid-ignored-on-directories Also, it is summarized in the wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setuid_and_setgid_on_directories "The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on most UNIX and Linux systems.[citation needed] However FreeBSD can be configured to interpret setuid in a manner similar to setgid, in which case it forces all files and sub-directories created in a directory to be owned by that directory's owner - a simple form of inheritance.[5] This is generally not needed on most systems derived from BSD, since by default directories are treated as if their setgid bit is always set, regardless of the actual value. As is stated in open(2), "When a new file is created it is given the group of the directory which contains it."" After all, I am convinced that it would not hurt to do "u-s" although I have never tested kernel builds on FreeBSD. > Fixes: 3e8541803624 ("builddeb: Enable rootless builds") > Cc: Guillem Jover <guillem@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Sven Joachim <svenjoac@xxxxxx> > --- > scripts/package/builddeb | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/scripts/package/builddeb b/scripts/package/builddeb > index 1b11f8993629..91a502bb97e8 100755 > --- a/scripts/package/builddeb > +++ b/scripts/package/builddeb > @@ -45,6 +45,8 @@ create_package() { > chmod -R go-w "$pdir" > # in case we are in a restrictive umask environment like 0077 > chmod -R a+rX "$pdir" > + # in case we build in a setuid/setgid directory > + chmod -R ug-s "$pdir" > > # Create the package > dpkg-gencontrol -p$pname -P"$pdir" > -- > 2.28.0 > -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
