Okay, I've to slap upstream. Changing source is worse, but this
is an upstream
issue, not downstream.
Yes, it's an upstream issue, but it makes tracking changes for us (you as the
maintainer) harder. :(
But Beldi should take $HOME/beldi or something per
default as only one user per machine normally really uses Beldi.
And how do you want achieve this if not with userhelper?
Independent of
this, Beldi can given another parameter to use a common location for the files
it uses.
$HOME/beldi is a bad idea I think, because it can interfere with
system-config-users (in the unlikely case someone creates a user called
"beldi")
/var/lib/beldi is better and follows the FHS.
If we use $HOME/beldi we _need_ to create the beldi user during %post.
Removing the qemu requirement again is nothing big.
Removing qemu from Requires: is no big deal but it leaves us with the "Test with
qemu" button.
Suid is what upstream would
like to avoid. Upstream prefers either separate directories or one directory
which is read-writable to all users. The last of these solutions is discouraged
in Fedora as I got from #fedora-devel.
I wasn't suggesting to make beldi suid or creating a world writable directory
but about using userhelper like we do for revisor and other tools. To me this is
the best solution, the "fedora way": It guarantees that beldi always is
executed
as a certain user, so that all users can share a single beldi installation.
