sudo: please make it optional

[vitaly-zdanevich]

Also because I want to package it for Gentoo Linux - so it already will be installed with root.

@Samueru-sama I need your help here, I know you use "doas"

[ivan-hc]

While using "AM", this is the function that made it work with "sudo"

function _am() {
	AMCLI="am"
	AMCLIPATH="$AMCLI"
	SUDOCOMMAND="sudo"
	COMPLETIONPATH="/etc/bash_completion.d"
	COMPLETIONFILE="am-completion.sh"
	APPSPATH="/opt"
	AMPATH="$APPSPATH/$AMCLI"
	_create_cache_dir
	mkdir -p "$AMPATH"/modules
}

I'm a doas user, however I use AppMan instead of AM which doesn't need elevated privileges. A while ago I did some changes that makes AM depend less on sudo, but if I'm not mistaken it still isn't ready.

@vitaly-zdanevich #827

Once that is merged to dev, please enable the developer mode and update AM and let me know if you still have issues without sudo.

[ivan-hc]

@vitaly-zdanevich do am --devmode-enable and then, update with am -s

Btw @ivan-hc the same if command -v sudo else command -v doas has to be done in the INSTALL script, I will do it tomorrow, but if you want to do it now do it.

@vitaly-zdanevich Let us know if AM works now with doas.

Btw @ivan-hc the same if command -v sudo else command -v doas has to be done in the INSTALL script, I will do it tomorrow, but if you want to do it now do it.

done fa2dc8b and 249a3c8

also updated the README about one hour ago 839ad9f

in my use case also the installer worked like a charm on the Fedora VM.

[vitaly-zdanevich]

Oh my, I do not know what doas is...

[vitaly-zdanevich]

Looks like unnecessary dependency for installing :(

[vitaly-zdanevich]

When user install from root - is it possible to expect that?

[Samueru-sama]

Looks like unnecessary dependency for installing :(

You are telling me you don't have sudo or doas in your system?!

[vitaly-zdanevich]

Yes, for what? My root terminal is always running in a dedicated workspace.

[vitaly-zdanevich]

And again - I plan to write the ebuild for it - so it will be installed from root.
