How do I run aura as a root user? #943

Closed flajann2 closed 1 month ago

flajann2 commented 1 month ago

Running aura as root is a part of my normal workflow when I am configuring my system at the root level, because many other commands that I might run will only run as root, and typing "sudo" at the beginning of every commands gets old quickly.

I went splunking through your source code and did not see anything obvious.

So how do I reenable this functionality?

sudo is no longer necessary - you should be able to run Aura as root and build packages normally with just aura -A foo.

It won't let me. When I am logged in as root (not using sudo), it gives me the same "sudo no longer required" and refuses to run. I have to get out of root and go back to my user account just to run aura.

So you have no intentions on giving me an option or configuration at least? Wow.

The issue was closed by a commit fixing the issue. You should be able to run Aura as root without issue now.

Thank you.
