My non-root MacPorts 1.7.1 install was configured with
--with-install-user=rschmidt
--with-install-group=admin
I don't use "sudo" for most operations. This gives me some assurance
that arbitrary things on my hard drive are not being modified. I only
use sudo to install ports that need root access, like those that have
startup scripts, like apache2 or mysql5-server.
MacPorts trunk has a new --with-macports-user option. How am I meant
to configure MacPorts trunk now? What should I specify for the
macports-user? rschmidt? root? some new user I create? Will I need to
change my habits about when I use sudo?
