DocSets directory tree quarantined and unable to clear?


  • Subject: DocSets directory tree quarantined and unable to clear?

These two directories are now set with the com.apple.quarantine attribute. This either was either not the case prior to the last security update or the attribute was being ignored. It seems reasonable to do this as they originate from an online location.

/Developer/Documentation/DocSets/ com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.CoreReference.docset/Contents
/Developer/Documentation/DocSets/ com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.DeveloperTools.docset


However opening documentation pages, either from the Xcode Documentation window with 'Open Link in Browser' or by doing the same thing in a utility like Cocoa Browser SN generates the 'This came from some place online' dialog each and every time. Launch Services is handling these requests each time I assume and the DocSets directory is owned by the _devdocs user so the items never get marked as cleared... which I also assume is the source of these items in system.log:

Dec 20 12:52:16 macpro com.apple.launchd[89] (com.apple.coreservices.uiagent): Throttling respawn: Will start in 6 seconds
Dec 20 12:52:24 macpro kernel[0]: CoreServicesUIAg[4015] Unable to clear quarantine `index.html': 13
...
<repeats for each launch atttempt>
....


I prefer viewing guides and class references in seperate browser windows. Doing an xattr -d * on the entire directory tree to get rid of this each month seems... annoying. I am also reluctant to change the acls or user/group permissions on directory trees that I as a user am not supposed to manage.

Can a better solution be designed for this usage case?

Thanks,
Dave
