Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I wonder, how I can test my own ebuilds, without being root. As far as I can |
| 4 |
see, there is no necessary need to work as root until the qmerge step. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
At the moment, I get access violations, because as a normal user (group: |
| 7 |
portage) I do not have write access to /var/tmp/portage/... (of course). |
| 8 |
But I don't want to start my (maybe buggy) ebuilds as root, because my system |
| 9 |
could become unusable by accident, if there are bugs in my ebuild. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I found the 'sandbox', 'usersandbox' and 'userpriv' things in /etc/make.conf, |
| 12 |
but no hints, how that could help me. The section 'testing your ebuilds' in |
| 13 |
the HOWTO does not mentions how one would really test a new ebuild on his |
| 14 |
machine. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Do I have to setup a chroot environment for that? Or use vmware or bochs or |
| 17 |
similar simulations? Or is there an easier and better solution? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Any hints or advices for me? |

thank you very much, |
