Comment 1 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2010-03-29 18:19:21 UTC

I have no intention of making beep setuid root along with the security implications that come with that.

You are welcome to take over the beep package if you want to go that route.

I'm saving this link for the record, as it is not easy to find:

I have asked the packaging group to link to the pep within the packaging documentation but it doesn't seem to have happened yet :(

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 5 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2010-08-09 18:45:27 UTC

Keeping this bug open makes no sense, therefore I am closing it.

If someone wants to make give beep more priviledges, please reopen the bug and take over maintainership of the package.
