#161 add sandboxing support to fink (revised approach)

Jack Howarth — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 03:58:06 -0000

Patch file generated against the fink 0.41.0 release.

add sandboxing support to fink (revised approach)

Jack Howarth — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 03:57:10 -0000

The attached patch reworks the previously proposed sandboxing support by...

1) Enabling the sandbox usage by default (except during fink bootstraps)
2) Adding a 'NoSandbox' field for the Info files which can be used to
disable the sandbox on a per package basis.
3) Retaining the --build-in-sandbox/--no-build-in-sandbox fink flags
which override the other settings.

The --no-build-in-sandbox fink flag can be used to disable the sandbox
in any fink build while the --build-in-sandbox fink flag can be used
to override 'NoSandbox: true' in a particular info file.

The attached fink_sandboxing_v3.diff, applied to stock fink-0.41.0,
has been verified to bootstrap on 10.11 and exhibit the behaviors
described above.
