>Description:

Somewhere this winter (southern hemisphere :-) a new feature was
enabled which allowed building of ports without being root, it would
su to a priviledge user before the actual install.

There are two problems with the current implementation:

- the pre-install target isn't done as priviledged user, but
  post-install is.

- tarballs with files in it with non-normal permissions (2775 for
  example, see x11-fonts/font-config) are completely extracted but
  will exit with an error value of non-zero, causing make(1) to
  fail.

>How-To-Repeat:

- Check the output of "make -n install"

- As a non-root user, try to "make extract" of x11-fonts/font-config.

>Fix:

None. Purely informative.
