Description Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-12 17:29:08 UTC
emerge --regen won't run if user isn't root, this is a bug- nothing in that code path should require root (it's no different then what emerge -s does).

...affects 2.1 at the very least, prolly affects 2.0 also.
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-05-13 15:22:14 UTC
In svn r3346 --metadata and -regen are now allowed for users in the portage group.
Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2006-05-14 17:41:21 UTC
This has been released in 2.1_rc2-r2.
