Hi,at the moment makepkg will use sudo to obtain root privileges if it is installed, otherwise it will use su. This means that if sudo is configured to only allow special commands (and none of those is "pacman"), "makepkg -i" will fail to install the built package. Same goes for installing dependencies with "makepkg -s". The patch appended introduces a new variable into makepkg.conf named SUPER_USER_BINARY, which is set to "sudo" by default. With it being "sudo" makepkg will behave as it does currently, so there should be no breakages with updates. If not set to sudo, makepkg will ignore an installed sudo and use su right away.
If the user has access to the root password, why is their sudo commands so limited in the first place?
