[X2go-dev] suidperl depreciated upstream?

[Milan Knížek]

Hello List!

perl-suid is the run-time dependency of x2goserver from the current Git.

I have spent some time searching for a package (or PKGBUILD script) for
Arch Linux and have not succeeded.

Having also checked the current source code of Perl, I found the reason
for it - the INSTALL file reads:

-----
suidperl

suidperl was an optional component of earlier releases of perl. It is no
longer available.  Instead, use a tool specifically designed to handle
changes in privileges, such as sudo.
-----

(I am aware about the sudo vs suidperl discussion held in February this
year on the mailing list.)

Is there any solution for those running the most recent perl (and for
future in general)?

Regards,
Milan
