Description Norberto Bensa 2005-03-29 21:56:34 UTC

Could kdesu be patched with Ubuntu's patches?
Ubuntu uses sudo instead of su. Here is the discussion:

http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/security-review/2005-March/000187.html

Also, a wiki on some sudo issues:

I haven't tried these patches, but I will if you tell me you'll consider adding them to Gentoo.

Best regards,
Norberto

Usually we don't include and maintain patches for kde that were not already accepted by kde developers.

The patch seems quite generic though, you should submit it to http://bugs.kde.org for discussion.

KDE devs won't accept it. Perhaps this should be a USE flag?

No, if KDE does not accept it, we don't, too.
