`junest` fails on immutable filesystems #284

Closed nayr7 closed 2 years ago

nayr7 commented 2 years ago

There are cases where junest result in an error similar to :

cp: cannot create regular file '/home/ieltan/.junest//etc/netgroup': Permission denied
/home/ieltan/.junest/usr/bin/cp: cannot create regular file '/home/ieltan/.junest//etc/netgroup': Permission denied

This file has read-only permissions -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 1 janv. 1970 /etc/netgroup on immutable filesystems, junest successfully copies this file on the first run but at the second it tries to copy over it (hence deleting it) but because the permissions carries over it doesn't work -r--r--r-- 1 ieltan users 0 27 déc. 14:35 .junest/etc/netgroup. I could to circumvent this either by entering junest -n or changing junest behavior to use cp -f

Thanks for raising this issue @dryan7 ! I placed the fix to dev branch.
