#65810: Cannot make cmake-bootstrap without root privileges

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 Hello,

 I maintain a port tree in my home directory on my work computer where I do
 not have root privileges. This has been working for years. However,
 recently I upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey, and therefore have to
 rebuild all my packages. This barfs at building cmake-bootstrap with the
 error

 {{{
 --->  Installing cmake-bootstrap @3.9.6_0
 Error: Failed to install cmake-bootstrap: MacPorts requires root
 privileges for this action
 }}}
 I have been using macports as non-root for a long time now, so where is
 this restriction coming from now? Am I toast, i.e., I should give up on
 macports unless I have admin access?
