Call for votes (was: Bug#484841: staff group root equivalence)
Hi,
I'm calling on votes now for these three options (the last one isn't a
proposal, but by default in the option set). According to the
consitution, the voting periode last for up to one week, or until the
outcome is no longer in doubt.
| 1. Keep /usr/local writeable by group staff (i.e. leave things as they
| are).
| 2. Decide to change the default so that /usr/local is not writeable by
| group staff anymore. This change should only be implemented after an
| appropriate transition plan exists which enables system administrators
| to maintain the ability of group staff to write to /usr/local.
| (Reasons for the change are the adaption of other tools like sudo on
| most sites, and the concept of "least surprise" for novice users.)
| 3. Further discussion.
Cheers,
Andi
