#1113 closed defect

chicken-install -s should not use sudo if it is not necessary — at Version 1

Estimated difficulty: hard

Description (last modified by Christian Kellermann)

Currently chicken-install -s unconditionally invokes sudo which installs eggs with root permissions even in the case of local installs, i.e. in your own home directory.

I would expect it to be smarter and use only sudo if the current permissions aren't enough to install an egg.
