That was done intentionally: "Build without setuid for weston; it's very young and experimental, so let's be cautious." - changelog for 0.85 - http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/w/weston/weston_0.95.0-0ubuntu1/changelog
In 0.95, weston should never be suid root, but weston-launch is intended to be suid root. This should have fewer security implications than running weston suid root, however it's still up to the packagers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029221 Title: /usr/bin/weston does not have suid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/weston/+bug/1029221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
