Yes, thanks, I'll be using that now. However, I still think it's more |
| 8 |
secure to do everything as a regular user (including running all the |
| 9 |
portage code!) and only elevating to root permissions for actual |
| 10 |
merges. Otherwise you spend more time running things as root, even if |
| 11 |
you drop for the builds, and it's possible for a bug to prevent the |
| 12 |
privileges from being dropped. Anyway, just wanted to make that |
| 13 |
point, obviously it's up to you guys to decide. |
