Edit report at https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=20383&edit=1 ID: 20383 Comment by: jam@pobox.com Reported By: phpbug at monumentmail dot com Summary: Files written outside INSTALL_ROOT install Status: Open Type: Bug Package: PEAR Operating System: Linux Package Version: Unknown PHP Version: 5.6.16 Roadmap Versions: New Comment: It is not only making .channels .depdb .filemap .registry files at the root directory of INSTALL_ROOT but also making those files at prefix/lib/php directory too. $ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/php $ make INSTALL_ROOT=/home/... install $ ls -a /usr/local/lib/php . .. .channels .depdb .depdblock .filemap .lock .registry Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-01-04 06:50:03] jam7 php-7.1.0 still has the identical bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-16 04:07:36] phppearbug -PHP Version: 5.6.0 +PHP Version: 5.6.16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-16 04:03:47] phppearbug No change an still bugged in PHP 5.6.16. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-31 11:33:53] phppearbug No change an still bugged in PHP 5.6.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-09-01 18:39:31] phppearbug And a second follow up. I replaced the 'runtime' components in phar file with the contents of the tar files which were included in the phar. So, in effect, making an installer using the 1.9.5 version of PEAR, and versions of Tar and friends which were in the phar, as noted in my original report as a thing to try. I still obviously used patch1.patch to get one of the 2 surplus databases gone, but unfortunately, using 1.9.5 fixed nothing. The other surplus database was still there in $HOME/php/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
