severity 568880 minor tags 568880 + patch thanks The bug report was a bit premature: when talking it through on IRC I learned that it is wrong to run sa-compile using sudo, because $HOME is then still pointing to the user home directory, and that I should use --sudo instead.
I think in a perfect world "sudo sa-compile" would respect the existing file ownership, but for the time being, this limitation of sa-compile should be mentioned more clearly in the man page. I suggest adding a sentence like this at the end of the --sudo section: "Calling sudo directly (e.g. "sudo sa-compile") is usually not recommended since the environment is not sanitized." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
