Description
Currently, Inquisitor's build and maintenance scripts/makefiles use sudo to obtain root privileges when they need them.
On some system, theoretically, there could be other preferred method to obtain root. For example:
- Do nothing - "I'm already and always root"
sukdesugksu- Usage of some sort of virtualization system (
vzctl run,hsh-run --rooter, etc)
We should have some option in configuration for user to specify preferred root obtaining mechanism.
