Greetings,
I saw the changes in packaging guidelines related to PIE:
/If your package meets the following criteria you *MUST* enable the PIE
compiler flags: /
* /Your package is long running. This means it's likely to be started
and keep running until the machine is rebooted, not start on demand
and quit on idle. /
* /Your package has suid binaries, or binaries with capabilities. /
* /Your package runs as root. /
I maintain kde-partitionmanager and I wonder if I should apply PIE to
that. At startup it calls itself with sudo: to work properly it must run
as root, but it can be started also as normal user. Am I correct if I
think it fits in the third assumption above?
Thank you.
Mattia
