mythtv-core.25 00.25.2-Fixes-20120918 permission wrong on directory /opt/local/var/log/mythtv.25/

[ted.rippert@…]

In both OSX 10.5.8 and 10.6.8 the permissions for the directory created for logs (/opt/local/var/log/mythtv.25/) do not have the traversal bit set and the frontend cannot write logs when started by a non-root user.

Work Around:

sudo chmod a+x /opt/local/var/log/mythtv.25/

Thanks for noticing this. I'll correct it in the next revision to the port.

For others affected, you'll still need to do the chmod command listed above. Once the log directory is created, it's permissions are not changed by subsequent upgrades to Myth.

Actually, this was previously fixed <​https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/multimedia/mythtv-core.25/Portfile?rev=98186>.

However, upgrades to a prior install do not change the permissions on the existing directory. Users will have to manually change the permissions (allow group write access) in that case.
