i tried a "make World"/make on a current CVS snapshot, using RH Linux 7.3 - and found that the drm kernel module makefiles will need root rights on /lib/modules/<kernel-version>.
i know that prior versions of xf86 sources did not force me to be "root" for building them. and i think it is a bad habit to force users to run such a huge _build_ process as root whilst 99% of the code does not need it. btw, i am a bit in doubt if it is a good idea at all to let compile tasks modyfiy system wide settings at all. what if you run two of such processes concurrently? i would like to see a separation of any root rights requiring tasks into a special build call rather than letting all compile in the same run with the maximum risk factor... -Alex. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
