Don't use sudo #9

Open luismbo opened 9 years ago

luismbo commented 9 years ago

If we manage to avoid using sudo to do our setup, then we've taken the first step towards being able to use Travis CI's caching mechanism.

What would be required to make this happen?

Travis is urging folks to move to the new container-based setup, and that requires disabling sudo: required.

luismbo commented 9 years ago

We need to avoid installing things into system directories. That might involve removing the dependency on apt-get install since travis's answer to that - http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/apt/ - is not really suitable for cl-travis.

Is there any movement on eliminating the use of sudo in install.sh? Apparently Travis-CI disabled the use of sudo for security reasons (at least temporarily)

luismbo commented 9 years ago

@mmaul thanks for the heads up. Yeah, we need to fix this. I'll see what I can do in the next few days. Meanwhile, patches welcome!

luismbo commented 9 years ago

I didn't have time to tackle this, but it seems that sudo is back, so the issue has been rendered somewhat moot, since folks are working on better alternatives to cl-travis.

What are the alternatives?
