hi ! have you played with userpriv and usersandbox features in make.conf?
part of portage-2.0.47-r2.ebuild: The 2.0.47 line of portages contains an optional userpriv mode that enables portage to drop root privleges and run as a normal user. It is enabled via FEATURES by adding userpriv. ciao Joe On Wednesday 19 February 2003 10:22, Arturo di Gioia wrote: > Yesterday I updated portage to version 2.0.47-r2. > It suggested me to add a 'portage' group to allow non root build. > Unfortunately it didn't give any more information.
