[jira] Created: (TOOLS-3) Magic eliminates unix file command
Message:
A new issue has been created in JIRA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
View the issue:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOOLS-3
Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TOOLS-3
Summary: Magic eliminates unix file command
Type: Bug
Status: Unassigned
Priority: Critical
Project: Metro Tools
Components:
MAGIC
Assignee:
Reporter: Joerg Schaible
Created: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 4:26 PM
Updated: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 4:26 PM
Environment: Unix, Cygwin
Description:
Magic creates a .magic directory in the home directory of an user. Unfortunately this breaks the unix file command. As long as this directory exists "file" cannot find its magic files and is no longer able to determin the type of arbitrary files for that particular user. Renaming or removing the .magic directory makes file work again:
joehni@paddy joehni $ file relnote.pdf
file: could not find any magic files!
joehni@paddy joehni $ mv .magic .magic-apache
joehni@paddy joehni $ file relnote.pdf
relnote.pdf: PDF document, version 1.3
Please rename this default directory!

[jira] Commented: (TOOLS-3) Magic eliminates unix file command
Posted by de...@avalon.apache.org.
The following comment has been added to this issue:
Author: Stephen McConnell

Body:
A interim workaround is to define the MAGIC_HOME environment valiable to point to a different directory. This will eliminate the reference to ".magic".

[jira] Resolved: (TOOLS-3) Magic eliminates unix file command

The following issue has been resolved as WON'T FIX.

I suggest that we wait for the Metro proposal and see how that pans out. It is likely that Magic will either be renamed or that the .metro directory is used instead. I will keep the issue open.
