abs and /var/abs/local

hyp0luxa · 2004-10-01 04:12:25

every time I run abs (using sudo), it resets the permissions of /var/abs/local, and everything under it, to root:root. Is this by design? Is there some workaround I can implement? Thanks.

I'd suppose it sets permissions based on the user.... if you're using sudo it is running under the root user...

all your package permissions should be root:root even if you are running a local repo. it is a secuirty risk to have packages installed that are user owned.

i used to always build as user to test my own build then build as root when everything was ok.

when you build as your own user, you can build in any directory, such as /home/myname/abs/myprog. Then when its done you can build it as root.

I'm not sure what the security risk of running it as a user is?
