Don't fail "ostree remote refs" if writing the summary cache is not permitted (1.73 KB, patch)

Description Alexander Larsson 2016-03-18 09:07:18 UTC 
ostree remote refs now fails hard for a system repo, as it can't write the summary file, but this used to work. Lets just ignore the permissions error so this works again.

Don't fail "ostree remote refs" if writing the summary cache is not permitted

It used to be allowed to run something like "ostree remote refs" on
a read-only (e.g. system) repo. However, the summary cache caused that to
break. This commit just makes it not save the cache if we get some kind
of permission error when writing it. It'll still work, even without the
cache.
