Root vs not is about system prefix. Installing to ~/weewx can still respect the hierarchy and not need privs. pkgsrc actually can be bootstrapped without root to a prefix (that the user running it can write of course). my comment was really about pushing the config vs db separation into weewx proper as a concept, and partly because the apt, pkgsrc, whatever packagers need to take the release and munge it into the various areas, so the more it's "pass args" and the less "patch" that's better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
