Hello all,
How an arbitrary user (without root credentials) can install ports
in own home dir?
How I tried to do this:
I created ~/local/ports, place Mk, Tools, Templates there.
I defined in .cshrc:
setenv PORTSDIR ~/local/ports
setenv PREFIX ~/local
setenv PKG_DBDIR ~/local/var/db
But when I install any ports I'm asked to enter root password.
This is from the bsd.port.mk:
.if ${UID} != 0 && defined(_${target:U}_SUSEQ)
[skip]
@echo "===> Switching to root credentials for '${target}' target"
@cd ${.CURDIR} && \
${SU} root -c "${MAKE} ${__softMAKEFLAGS} ${_${target:U}_SUSEQ}"
@echo "===> Returning to user credentials"
If I give correct root's password, then a port is installed to ~/local
and a package is registered in ~/local/var/db.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to tell ports system not to ask me root's
password? I guess that there should be a way to do it,
whithout patching Mk/* files.
2. How to tell make(1) to use ~/local/etc/make.conf file
(use another file, than /etc/make.conf)?
