Greetings, I’d like to retire WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER. Brooks’ NO_ROOT (which I’m also converting to WITHOUT_ROOT) is much better. WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER is broken. First, it requites you also define NO_FSCHG. Second, any Makefile that overrides the owner and also has to include src.opts.mk early to check options fails. It has been broken for some time (even before my conversion to src.opts.mk, since bsd.own.mk included earlier before would cause this). This isn’t hard to fix (just tedious), but given the better solution we already have in the tree, it seems the best thing to do is to just kill it since its day has passed. Comments? Warnerhelp
