[gentoo-user] android-sdk-update-manager, wrong permissions?

[fruktopus]

Hi,

i just emerged dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager-22 (~x86)
if I start it, it complains about not being able to create

/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/build-tools

after I created this directory similar problems followed. On a second
try I changed
/opt/android-sdk-update-manager/ 's group form 'root' to 'android' and
made it group writable

drwxrwxr-x 13 root android 4096 28. Mai 12:20 android-sdk-update-manager

this solved all problems. Should this be reported as a bug or did i
screwed it up somehow?

 Thanks, frukto

I confirm, i had the same issue with 21.1. And i think this is a bug.

It's probably a bug, you should report it at b.g.o.

I had the same problem years ago (back when the first Android phone -
the HTC G1 - was all the rage...) The root problem is that Google
assumes the sdk will be run in from home directory, not /opt, so the
ebuild must take care of proper owner and perms. It's an easy thing for
a dv to slip up on.
