But ebuilds setting RESTRICT=userpriv are explicitly saying "we can't use userpriv not because of an accident but because the build system really needs elevated privs". If a user wants to be protected against accidental mistakes, they set FEATURES=userpriv and accidental mistakes are caught whilst intentional requirements are let through. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
