Hello everyone,

While browsing through the directories of my Wapt server, I noticed something surprising. The owner and the owning group are not root or Wapt, but "1000:philippe" (Philippe has GID 1000).

I'm moving up from a /opt/wapt directory:

drwxr-xr-x 19 wapt www-data 4096 Feb 13 11:49 wapt

wapt id
uid=107(wapt) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)

The server is running on Debian 11.6, which was just updated, along with the wapt packages. During the initial installation, I was using wapt version 2.2.

Hello flipflip,

Thank you very much for this feedback. There was a recent change to our build farm, and the buildbot:buildbot account (1000:1000) is still holding the file permissions for the package (which should have been root:root). It's not ideal, but it shouldn't impact production. We'll fix this very quickly. In the meantime, you can make the following changes:

Code: Select all

find /opt/wapt -group 1000 -exec chgrp  root {}  \;
find /opt/wapt -user 1000 -exec chown  root {}  \;

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Denis

Okay, I applied the change and restarted the wapt* service on the server.

So far, so good... Everything seems fine.

Thank you.

Hi again Flipflip,

the latest nightly build pushed online should fix the problem and will be included in the next release. Thanks again for the bug report.

Best regards,

Denis
