Description Diego Elio Petteno' 2014-10-06 13:35:44 MDT

Found this by patching for bug #667 and rebuilding autotools through Gentoo-provided functions, install-sh got replaced with a fresh copy from autoconf and it failed to work with -O/-G.

Given the shipped install-sh works with the modern -o/-g options I would suggest to just use those.

Comment 1 Todd C. Miller 2014-10-06 14:17:03 MDT

Sudo uses a different install-sh which uses -G and -O for doing installation as non-root.  The autoconf-supplied install does not provide a way to support his that I am aware of.

Actually, it looks like I can use the same INSTALL_OWNER hack the other Makefiles use to work around this.

Fixed in sudo 1.8.11p1, available now.
