You're mixing stuff here. IF the user doing sudo is in wsrc, DESTDIR and RELEASEDIR should be passed through to the underlying process. and you shouldnt need two sudo invocations. export DESTDIR=/usr/dst export RELEASEDIR=/usr/release $make release (as user iirc, if you're in wsrc and use the default sudoers that's supposed to work. (btw, i never build releases, so i might be wrong) Landry
