As a result of this, after updating to Git 2.35.2, line 23 fails with the following error for each AUR package directory (when the script is run as root with the pacman hook):
Adding an exception as suggested (for root git config) works as expected but I'd like to avoid doing this if possible,
not to mention it should be done for each AUR package. It would be a pain to maintain in the long run.Edit: Git 2.35.3 now includessafe.directory="*"
to completely disable this security check.I guess there are other solutions such as
chown
ing~/.cache/paru/clone/
toroot:root
but it's obviously a terrible idea. Another one I come up with is to run thegit ls-files
command as regular user with:but for some reasons I keep getting the same error with the full
rm -f $(git ls-files ..)
command.I also tried modifying the pacman hook so that the script is run as regular user:
But I'm getting an error:
Hopefully you can come with a workaround!
Thanks in advance for your time. 🙇
