Hi,
We're contemplating a change to the installation procedure for the LDM and
would like to know if and how this will affect you. Currently, if the
option "--disable-root-actions" isn't specified, the configure(1)-script
will test to see if the user has root privileges. We're thinking of
abandoning this in favor of a more simplified installation process in which
the user would first build and install the LDM as themself and then the
superuser (i.e., root) would execute the command "make root-actions". This
last step could be done by the same user via su(1) or sudo(1) or later by a
systems administrator.
This change would allow the use of GitHub's actions for continuous
integration testing (why it would is a long story) and is something which
is greatly desired.
Please let us know if this would negatively affect your LDM installation
practice in an unacceptable way by posting to this mailing-list.
Regards,
Steve Emmerson
