Hi
i've managed to install and test pkgsrc as non-root
but there are a few files, i have to modify at hand (maybe a --user
bootstrap option in future might be interesting).
last, when trying to install software, it tries to su root
so i had to change $base/pkgsrc/mk/defs.SunOS.mk
#ROOT_CMD?= ${SU} - www -c
ROOT_CMD?= ssh www@localhost
ROOT_GROUP?= www
ROOT_USER?= www
i must enter a ROOT_CMD (cannot be empty; but there is no test if we are
the "ROOT_USER" ...)
someone know a better cmd than ssh
bmake said i'm "root" (have to change other files ?) but there is one
warning:
===> Warning: your umask is "00".
and there are some perms which are bad (nothing fatal :).
a little question: is there is any pkg build with pkgsrc (like openbsd
ports) ? or the only way to have binary packages is pkg_create ?
Regards
Julien
