But in the meantime, suid should be roughly equivalent to user namespaces as far as tup is concerned. The downside for suid of course is that you need root access on the machine, which not everyone has in certain circumstances. > > Maybe after a while (to discover potential problems) you could post a new > release?

After that I'll make a new release. I may still do the explicit-variant branch in the future just to simplify the dependency checker, but I think it still needs some work for simplifying the meaning of $(TUP_CWD) and $(TUP_SRCDIR) (TUP_SRCDIR is new to that branch).
