#13458: Lint and Livecheck targets should not require root access ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: rhwood@macports.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: lint livecheck ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by wsiegrist@apple.com): The problem with lint at least seems to be the need to write to the state file which is in the build area and requires root privileges to write to. These sort of operations dont affect the state of the port so the file shouldnt be written to, IMO. Sorry if this is already obvious to the devs but I wanted to comment here since I ran into the issue and my ticket was marked a dup of this one. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13458#comment:2> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
