    Description

      I have a Jenkins installation for which I changed the "JENKINS_USER" and "JENKINS_HOME" (in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins) from the defaults.
      When I do an upgrade via yum/RPM, it sets the ownership of /var/log/jenkins back to default user "jenkins" (instead of honoring my JENKINS_USER configuration).

      This prevents Jenkins from starting after an upgrade. And since it cannot write to the log file, it may not be easy to figure out what went wrong.

            Is there a reason the patch does not include /var/cache/jenkins? And that it's recursive is probably really unnecessary, as noted in JENKINS-23273.

            Francisco Lozano: Doesn't your /etc/sysconfig/jenkins define as JENKINS_USER the name of the Jenkins user?

            I think that this issue is fixed. When setting the JENKINS_USER in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins, the ownership is set correctly. The problem about long times required to chown is handled in JENKINS-23273.
