  • As I wrote it already works. I've been using this setup for quite some time. Using schroot and pyfilesystem I don't need root privileges anywhere. The only thing that does not work is the mentioned symlink part. Should I maybe rephrase my question to include something about symlinks? Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 12:46
  • Thanks for the edit of the question but I think that this is not specific enough. The fact that I'm using this setup for development/compiling has nothing to do with the problem. Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 12:49
  • @OrimKurowe, I don't see much other use of such a functionality, that's why I propose labelling the question that way. Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 12:55
  • I do have use for that functionality and I'm hoping I'm not the only one... Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 13:09
  • As I say, system-wide changes should not be in the hands of any random user who happens to be using the machine. To use the obligatory car analogy: sure, it would often come handy if I could just hop into the next car and drive off with it, but I suspect the owner won't be too happy about it.
