Minicom: bad path for lock file

Reported by: julien-mac@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: Cc: mklein-de (Michael Klein), kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)
Port: minicom

Description

Minicom create a lock file when it is launched to prevent another instance to be called.

For now, Portfile set this to ${prefix}/var which is 755 by default on leopard, so by default only root can call minicom.

It would be better if --enable-lock-dir was set up on ${prefix}/lock which could be set 1777. Else if we accept path outside of prefix, we can use /var/tmp (or /tmp to be more portable)

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

The Portfile was changed some time ago to use: --enable-lock-dir=/tmp

This should fix this issue.
