| 1 | Hello list, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I have set up my first ebuild repository[1] with one package |
| 4 | "x11-misc/drm_master_util" to run "X" without root privileges. I am |
| 5 | still making it to work[2]. The ebuild file accesses an external git |
| 6 | repository[3]. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | The thing I am concerned about, is, that I am pulling something from an |
| 9 | external source, which I am installing on my system and giving it root |
| 10 | privileges[4]. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The only best practise I can think of, is, to fork the external |
| 13 | repository, linking the ebuild to my fork and updating it on demand, so |
| 14 | I have full control over it. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Would this be the way to do it? |
