Description
Problem
Inside a build_master compatible project:
sudo build_master meson setup build --reconfigure
Results in permission errors, probably due to build_master_meson process invoked with sudo privileges.
Build Master drops the root privileges at start, and no root privileges are there when launching build_master_meson process, so why it is invoked with root privileges? Do we need to drop the root privileges permanently?
