Hello list,
I have set up my first ebuild repository[1] with one package
"x11-misc/drm_master_util" to run "X" without root privileges. I am
still making it to work[2]. The ebuild file accesses an external git
repository[3].
The thing I am concerned about, is, that I am pulling something from an
external source, which I am installing on my system and giving it root
privileges[4].
The only best practise I can think of, is, to fork the external
repository, linking the ebuild to my fork and updating it on demand, so
I have full control over it.
Would this be the way to do it?
