?? The assumptions I am making are clearly not involving giving a user population root access. I just point to the lack of tools to maintain semi-frozen trees and to automate software updates on a large enterprise desktop deployment, and try to see if this gathers interest. I fail to see where I need to give wheel to user. My position would rather be that workstations don't need a portage tree or an emerge command. A software deployment server could push package installation on workstations and keep track of what's installed where and with which configuration files. -- Thierry Carrez (Koon) Gentoo Linux Security -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
