l10nupdate emit an error message when run as hashar:wikidev Copying LC files back to /home cp: cannot create regular file `/home/wikipedia/common/php-1.19/cache/l10n/l10n_cache-ab.cdb': Permission denied <more similar messages follow> Does not make any sense since files are owned by awjrichards:wikidev and have group write.
Even worse with 1.20wmf1 : Copying LU files back to /home cp: cannot create regular file `/home/wikipedia/common/php-1.20wmf1/cache/l10n/l10nupdate-ab.cache': Permission denied AND Copying LC files back to /home cp: cannot create regular file `/home/wikipedia/common/php-1.20wmf1/cache/l10n/l10n_cache-ab.cdb': Permission denied
l10nupdate should be running as the l10nupdate user, and that user should own the cache/l10n directory. Which it does for 1.19, so that should be working. I fixed the perms on the 1.20 dir just now. Most of the files inside the directory, however, are owned by awjrichards or catrope, probably because these users have run LC cache rebuilds (which are triggered from scap). So it may fail to overwrite these files, which is stupid because it can overwrite them by deleting and recreating them. Adding the -f flag to the cp invocation in the script should fix that, I'll do that now.
