Our "install-dependencies.sh" script is executed by non-dockerized jobs to install dependencies. These jobs don't run with "root" permissions, but with a separate user. Consequently, we need to use sudo(8) there to elevate permissions when installing packages. We're about to merge "install-docker-dependencies.sh" into that script though, and our Docker containers do run as "root". Using sudo(8) is thus unnecessary there, even though it would be harmless. On some images like Alpine Linux though there is no sudo(8) available by default, which would consequently break the build. Adapt the script to make "sudo" a no-op when running as "root" user. This allows us to easily reuse the script for our dockerized jobs. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> --- ci/install-dependencies.sh | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+)
