New comment by sgn on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/26224#issuecomment-725041788 Comment: > I know I suggested renaming the `elogind` build option to `setuid` to achieve the default behavior, but looking at this propagating everywhere, I really think this is an inappropriate abuse of a build option. `xorg-server` also has `elogind` build option, with that option on, `setsuid` is dropped, too. So, I think *the* convention is use `elogind`. p/s: I have no opinion, whatsoever, just want to point out current practice. I still live in xorg land. > > After package installation, XBPS does not track file permissions, so the user can always set or clear the setuid bit depending on desired behavior. This gets a little annoying if updates toggle the bit, but is it any more annoying than having to rebuild the package after every update with some build option just to toggle the bit for you? I submit that it is _less_ annoying, and users can always hold the package to avoid being surprised if they really want. > > Either the binaries should default to setuid root or they should not; this is a question for regular Wayland users (one of which I am not) to hash out. But I strongly suggest the build option be dropped.
