Should pkg_setup() be run in a sandbox? |
2 |
|
3 |
The current reasons to not have it sandboxed include: |
4 |
|
5 |
- ebuilds need to add users |
6 |
- ... (any others?) |
7 |
|
8 |
So, would it make sense to sandbox pkg_setup() and only unmask the |
9 |
passwd files needed for adding users? enewuser & friends can be made to |
10 |
unmask those locations on demand, thus making the transition painless. |
11 |
|
12 |
What other reasons are there for having pkg_setup() outside the sandbox? |
13 |
|
14 |
As to why I'm asking -- this[1] abolition of an ebuild made its way on |
15 |
the qmail mailing list and I was shocked that it does not die in the |
16 |
first place. |

Disclamer: Exercise great caution with the following link. Only read one |
19 |
line at a time or you may be overwhelmed. Take a break every 10 lines or |
20 |
so. Have a sedative handy. |
