>From my reading it appears that one of the goals of STAGE is to allow users
to build and install ports under their UID. Are the perms in /usr/ports
changing?
In testing the port that I'm working on, I find that I do not have rights
to write to /usr/ports/distfiles and I do not have rights to write to
${WORKDIR}. That pretty much precludes building the port unless your root.
No surprise there since the files in /usr/ports are owned by root:wheel.
So are the perms going to change? Is port building going to run setuid?
Or is this a vaporware?
