System: FreeBSD number6.magda.ca 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0: Fri Dec 27 10:36:12 EST 2002 dave@number6.magda.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNELE i386

>Description:

If I build as user 'dmagda', and then install as 'root', there are
some files which are owned by 'dmagda'.

This is bad.(tm)

>How-To-Repeat:

> make build   ; as regular user 
# make install ; as root
> ls -l /usr/X11R6/share/examples/xcircuit/

You'll find all the files in /usr/X11R6/share/examples/xcircuit/
owned by the regular user.

>Fix:

Instead of using tar(1) in the "do-install:" target, use cpio(1);
this is how the problem was solved in the www/mozilla port.

Currently you have:

post-install:
        @${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/share/examples/xcircuit
        ${TAR} -C ${WRKSRC}/examples --exclude CVS -cf - . | \
            ${TAR} -C ${PREFIX}/share/examples/xcircuit --unlink -xf -

Follow the www/mozilla example of using cpio:

do-install:
        ${MKDIR} ${PREFIX}/lib/${MOZILLA}
        ${CHMOD} 755 ${PREFIX}/lib/${MOZILLA}
        cd ${WRKSRC}/dist/bin && ${FIND} . | \
            cpio -pdm -L -R ${LIBOWN}:${LIBGRP} ${PREFIX}/lib/${MOZILLA}
	[...]

You can specify the final permissions with the "-R" option.
