Hi,
I have pushed abuild-2.12 to edge.
Some of the news:
* curl is used instead of wget for downloads. More and more packages
needs https and it iw a bit clumsy to add gnuu wget to depends every
time that happens. We have most likely curl installed as a dependency
for git so we could just as well use it.
abuild will still fallback to wget in case curl is not found. This is
so its easier to bootstrap abuild.
* sudo is no longer a dependency. I wrote a small mini sudo'ish tool
that will give you abuild-apk, abuild-adduser and abuild-addgroup as
suid root. It will check if the user is in "abuild" group and if so,
it will be able to perform those actions. You should never add any
user you would not give full sudo permissions to the abuild group
since its fairly trivial gain full root access.
This should make it easier to make the chroot build working, since
you no longer need to configure sudo in the chroot.
I have still not removed sudo from abuild depends so you who use sudo
for other things has a chance to 'sudo apk add sudo' before sudo is
pulled out.
* various checks was added for misc things, like warnings on world
writeable dirs, non-PIE suid root executables etc.
Please test and report back any issues.
Thanks!
