Subject: [DISCUSSION] Weston-Init and non-root weston
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2023 17:32:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241ddde-7f9c-d8ff-2c15-d300f5c5a24a@ti.com> (raw)

Finally getting around to weston-init issue I highlighted a while back 
and there's only one real issue preventing us from reusing the base 
weston-init recipe -- our touchscreen auto-configuration script.

That script has to have root access to setup and reload udev rules and 
as we know setuid won't work for shell scripts.

I propose we rewrite it in something that can use setuid (perl or c or 
something of the sort). I'm currently looking at perl as there's already 
quite a few core recipes that rdepend on it.

Then we just need to inject it into the runWeston script and adjust the 
two init scripts to point at that.

Any concerns or objections?
