[Monotone-devel] Re: Server fails to start up because it messes with MT directory

[Peter Simons]

Since I didn't see any reaction to this in the last couple
of days, I'm reposting the article to be sure it actually
made it to the list. Pardon me if you see it twice, please.

 | Hi,
 |
 | I've run into the following problem: I start my monotone
 | Netsync server using a separate user id: 'monoserv'. When I
 | do so while being in a current working directory which is a
 | monotone repository though, I get this error message:
 |
 |   monotone: fatal: std::exception:
 |     boost::filesystem::is_directory: "/root/MT":
 |     Permission denied
 |
 | That's what I got while being in ~root, obviously.
 |
 | Now, I start the process with
 |
 |   --norc --rcfile=/full/path/to/permissions.lua
 |
 | flags, so IMHO it shouldn't access the local MT directory!
 |
 | Did I miss something, or is this a bug?
 |
