Deals with ACLs - #1558
Conversation
|
@FredericBGA will this affect the minimum version of Perl that the tools require? |
|
this also is only applied to IndexNames e.g. generate-names...is it something that needs distributing more widely? more reading on filetest here https://perldoc.perl.org/filetest |
|
I also wonder: what was the error before this change was added? Was it unable to write things it should have been able to write to? |
|
The error was:
but the directory was indeed writable due to ALCs. |
|
seems like this should be ok. it does say in the docs here https://perldoc.perl.org/filetest to consider this carefully, but if it helps and doesn't have side effects then it seems good |
-d and -w test operators do not seem to respect the acls. use filetest pragma
