I think that the root assumptions are in basically 3 places:
|
|
|
|
* Many Properties assume they're run as root, and will fail if they're not.
|
|
Probably not a problem in practice for most of them. It might be nice
|
|
to make a few, such as `User.hasSomePassword` work when run as a normal
|
|
user.
|
|
|
|
* Propellor's self-deployment involves running apt-get to instal ghc,
|
|
etc. This could be modified to check if it's not root and do a local
|
|
user of ghc if necessary.
|
|
|
|
* `localdir = "/usr/local" and this is used in various places by eg,
|
|
`--spin`. It is, however, entirely possible to run "./propellor" in
|
|
some other directory, which causes it to run in that directory
|
|
and ensure the properties of localhost. `--spin` could certianly be
|
|
taught to run in a user mode where it uses "~/.propellor/" instead of
|
|
`localdir`.
|
|
|
|
I think that's all! I don't plan to try to add this feature myself, but
|
|
will be happy to support anyone who wants to work on it.
