[RFC] compat: Add ability to run as non-root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the EUID of the process is not 0, assume that get-compat-kernels
is run as a regular user and extract the downloaded *.deb files
from debs/ into ksrcs/:

ksrcs/
├── lib
│   └── modules
│       ├── 2.6.24-020624-generic
│       ├── 2.6.25-020625-generic
│       ├── ...
│       └── 3.4.4-030404-generic
└── usr
    └── src
        ├── linux-headers-2.6.24-020624
        ├── linux-headers-2.6.24-020624-generic
        ├── linux-headers-2.6.25-020625

        ├── linux-headers-3.4.4-030404
        └── linux-headers-3.4.4-030404-generic

If you still want to use your kernel sources under /, run
get-compat-kernels or ckmake with 'sudo'.

Adjust ckmake to look into ksrcs/lib/modules instead of
/lib/modules in the EUID != 0.

Finally put ksrcs into .gitignore for not losing the source
trees after a 'git clean'.

Tested both as root and non-root, works fine.
