Well, I've never tried it, so I don't have any recommendation atm other than to make sure FEATURES=userpriv is not enabled. Moving forward, maybe it would make sense to have a notion of a configurable "fetcher home" that package managers and live/vcs eclasses would use for the HOME variable only when fetching. For example, the user could configure this by setting a FETCHER_HOME variable. -- Thanks, Zac
