From 8ae50ae8bbdd823c4ac3108c7bc835a543329eb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pramod S Kumbhar Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2018 02:26:37 +0100 Subject: Use abspath to avoid permission errors(#7241) Fixes #5189 When working with non-normalized paths containing ".." on some file systems, Spack was found to encounter a permission error when writing to the path. This normalizes a path written by the intel-parallel-studio package and also normalizes all paths written by the license install hook (for all packages) to avoid this issue for intel-parallel-studio. --- lib/spack/spack/hooks/licensing.py | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'lib') diff --git a/lib/spack/spack/hooks/licensing.py b/lib/spack/spack/hooks/licensing.py index 9b5a2728ed..515935e8d4 100644 --- a/lib/spack/spack/hooks/licensing.py +++ b/lib/spack/spack/hooks/licensing.py @@ -157,6 +157,7 @@ def symlink_license(pkg): target = pkg.global_license_file for filename in pkg.license_files: link_name = join_path(pkg.prefix, filename) + link_name = os.path.abspath(link_name) license_dir = os.path.dirname(link_name) if not os.path.exists(license_dir): mkdirp(license_dir) -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
