Hello,
I want to compile HABS packages with the 'makeahpkg' script but the uses of 'sudo' require me to enter my root password every once in a while. This is annoying because I cannot just do
./makeahpkg -c -- $(cblrepo build base | tail -n +2)
and let it run overnight. In fact, at one instance the script just exited on its own because I did not enter the root pasword in time. Is there a workaround for this?
The easiest way is to remove password prompting while building. That does compromise security somewhat though. You can also try to run the script as root, then `sudo` becomes a no-op. The building uses a chroot, which is why root access is necessary.
Also does anyone have recommendations for web storage services that would work well with hosting my build of HABS packages? I've tried DropBox but the current AUR package for it is unusable, at least with Xmonad.
There is always the option of using the pre-built packages.
