Hello all, Could you please use the "--enable-run-as-root" configure flag when building packages of vlc?
VLC won't run as root at all if compiled without it - this misfeature is used to "protect" the users from themselves (which is never a good idea if realized in a such forced way), and it is really really annoying. I have to run vlc as root sometimes (in no-network mode, so no security issues there), and this limitation is really getting in the way. Right now I have to recompile vlc myself (to make it usable for me) and it's actually worse because I am reluctant to upgrade it every time a new version is released, because it would mean recompiling it again.
