Oh, I should note that there's no fundamental reason RPMs must have root privs anyway: autopackages can already install without root access and it's easy to imagine an RPM only having full root access if it's been signed by a trusted key (from the OS provider). So we can start evolving Linux towards a truly secure desktop, as opposed to one that is secure through obscurity ... thanks -mike _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
