ohh, i was dump, sorry for that. but anyway:
- the logfile path is still a bug imho.
- in this case it'd be very useful if revisor show the wrong url or some
kind of help what's the problem.
- and why revisor should have to run as root? to write an iso cd is't
not a task of a root. it'd much better if run as non root copy
/etc/revisor into ~/.revisor and simple run the whole process as the
given user. and everybody can just edit his files. to run a program as
root is something like windows. imho to login to linux box as root
should have to minimized and this task has nothing to do with root
(what's more i even denied to run revisor as root) this is the same as
creating an rpm package (rpmbuild) is possible to run as root but highly
not recommended.
just my 2c.
yours.
