[9fans] how is it done on sources?

[andrey mirtchovski]

how do you manage to change all file owners to sys/sys on sources without
running fossil in 'allow' mode?

also, what is the difference between 755 and 644, as illustrated in this
replica/pull snippet (why does 644 work, while 755 doesn't):

755 is rwxr-xr-x
644 is rw-r--r--

regarding sys, I don't know how they do it. I use the command allow
to put fossil temporarily in allow mode for the user doing the update.
(has to be done in the console, though).

the question is 'why does replica/pull behave differently when the only
difference between any two files in question is in their execution bits?'

i'm not explaining myself well, i know...

my random theory is that _all_ the changes are applied (in some
cases this works) rather than the minimal set.  i'm assuming it builds
a wstat from the line and sends it off.

in 'allow' mode you shouldn't get any opposition.

it's just weird and relatively inconsistent. the lowest common denominator
that i got was that all files from (/386/bin /rc/bin /acme/bin) are
complaining...

i managed to "fuxx0r" (pardon my language) my venti while investigating
where this'll take me. ended up learning more about venti/fossil than i
wanted to (see my previous message -- that's where i'm at right now)...

Those are all union mounts, right?  Maybe that's part of the explanation.

they're not all sys/sys on sources.
do an ls -l and you'll see.  they're sys/sys
in the replica logs, which is what gets used
to update your own machines.

run replica/pull as a special user that is a
member of group sys and drop the -u flag.
that's the easiest way to update a fossil
system.

the second easiest is to allocate an allowed
console using srv -A.
