Really. That sounds like a jab. Is there an ego needing a snack? What is 'bad' about using sudo? If I have a package that needs to be owned by root what is wrong with sudo? I'm not sure what is to like about fakeroot. It lets me create a setuid root program without asking me if I want to grant this priviledge to my users. At least sudo has a permission check. > Either you want to build with fakeroot, or you can really become > root using super or sudo (not sure how those have to be setup, but). > I know some have problems with fakeroot (or it's successor in > potato, libtricks) but most x86-based developers tend to prefer it.
