Description Heath Caldwell (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-10-22 16:51:18 UTC 
See bug #30087.

sudo is no longer used in the tests:

in Apache-Test/Changes:
...
=item 1.06 - November 10, 2003
...
sudo and su -u aren't portable, therefore use a simple setuid/setguid
perl program instead, to check whether the root directory of the test
suite is rwx by the user/group apache is going to run under (when
running 'make test' as root). [Stas]
...

I propose that we remove app-admin/sudo as a dependency for www-apache/mod_perl.

An extra bump here from *cough* sudo's ebuild maintainer :P
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-05 13:59:05 UTC 
This would also be a good opportunity to remove the 2.0.3-r1 ebuild which is doing in src_unpack() what should be done in pkg_setup() nowadays. -r2 fixes that.
Comment 3 Benedikt Böhm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-05 17:16:13 UTC 
fixed in 2.0.4-r1, thanks
