with-stow option still in configure.ac (sudo-1.8.15)
Last modified: 2016-03-17 10:21:02 MDT
In the change notes of 2012-05-21 with-stow was deprecated but it is mentioned in configure.ac, making it unintuitive to place sudo.conf in any folder other than /etc/sudo.conf erflungued@ammit:src/sudo/sudo-1.8.15# rcsdiff -ubw configure.ac =================================================================== RCS file: configure.ac,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -ubw -r1.1 configure.ac --- /tmp/T0uGaq0O Sun Nov 1 10:05:24 ACDT 2015 +++ configure.ac Fri Feb 19 09:29:14 ACDT 2016 @@ -4167,7 +4167,7 @@ test "$docdir" = '${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}' && docdir='$(datarootdir)/doc/$(PACKAGE_TARNAME)' test "$localedir" = '${datarootdir}/locale' && localedir='$(datarootdir)/locale' test "$localstatedir" = '${prefix}/var' && localstatedir='$(prefix)/var' -test "$sysconfdir" = '${prefix}/etc' -a X"$with_stow" != X"yes" && sysconfdir='/etc' +test "$sysconfdir" = '${prefix}/etc' && sysconfdir='${prefix}/etc' dnl dnl Substitute into the Makefile and man pages
Fixed in https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/8616d6de7ecd If you want to change the location of /etc/sudo.conf you need to use the --sysconfdir configure option.
Fixed in 1.8.16, available now.
