installing fuse writes to source directory

Open kodebach opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Running make install, when the fuse tool is built, creates files inside the source directory. At the very least these files should be part of .gitignore, but ideally the shouldn't be there at all. If we really need to write some temporary files, the should be in the build directory. However, since make install may be run as root to allow actually installing into the system, it probably shouldn't write to the build folder either. It is quite annoying, when sudo make install creates files owned by root inside the build directory.

Thank you for reporting this bug! We should not release like this or at least write it in the release notes about fuse.

If we release like this, the files should also be added to .gitignore until there is a proper fix. Then you at least don't have to be careful to not commit this stuff.
