Current issues after a day of usage:
Caching package database requires root and does not currently automatically escalate. I believe this was an issue already present in pmm that hadn't made itself apparent yet. yay, the only pm and pmm ui which a user would run without privileges, is affected. Potential solutions can be to not cache when run as user like cache_package_manager_list
or to escalate automatically using auto_escalate[]
. What do you think?
I believe pmm has some internal logic for the - Fixed${unprivileged_user}
var which cuts the extra space out from the command preview when it is unpopulated, I need to replicate this behavior for ${root_user}
.
Placed on hold until a per-user infrastructure is developed for pmm/Bedrock as pmm will have to manage non-root per-user package caches as well.
Allows a pm to set
auto_escalate[]
. When this var is set its value will be used to populate${root_user}
for other pms. This is useful to mimic autosudoing uis behaviors like yay for other pms.I tested every command to check whether they needed root permissions or not to function and prepended the command which did. However, this doesn't mean I didn't miss any or miss-categorize so I'll keep checking each commands behavior as I use this pr. The Bedrock documentation would need to be updated to reflect this new variable of course.
