uid_wrapper Wrapper to fake privilege separation

1.2.4 devel =0 1.2.4Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.

Maintainer: timur@FreeBSD.org

Port Added: 2018-07-03 03:29:57

Description:

- Allows uid switching as a normal user. - Start any application making it believe it is running as root. - Support for user/group changing in the local thread using the syscalls (like glibc). - More precisely this library intercepts seteuid and related calls, and simulates them in a manner similar to the nss_wrapper and socket_wrapper libraries. Some projects like a file server need privilege separation to be able to switch to the connection user and do file operations. uid_wrapper convincingly lies to the application letting it believe it is operating as root and even switching between UIDs and GIDs as needed.

Change cmake default behaviour to outsource.

Ports that build out of source now simply can use "USES=cmake"
instead of "USES=cmake:outsource". Ports that fail to build
out of source now need to specify "USES=cmake:insource".

I tried to only set insource where explictely needed.
