Package: ubuntu-dev-tools Version: 0.122 Severity: important Tags: wheezy sid
Hi, I do appreciate some scripts shipped by ubuntu-dev-tools, especially requestsync for example. But, a lot of scripts do use intensively "sudo". Is it so hard to type "sudo $command"? Or, at least, $command should inform the user that some operations are performed using "sudo". Please try to reduce the usage of sudo in your scripts! For example, check-symbols, mk-sbuild and get-build-deps are really scary. I don't think sudo's usage in those scripts is an absolute necessity. (check-symbols is broken by design... but that's another story).
