Hi,

Failing to build/stage as a regular user is generally not considered
broken.  But it's not best practice and often there is something fishy
in those ports, like files needing special ownership but
@(owner,group,) missing from plist.  Currently less than 200 ports
fail to build/stage as a regular user (less than 1% of the ports
tree).
In the case of rejik I was going to fix it (removing one line from the
Makefile) but then I noticed it was doing other things wrong...

Cheers,

Antoine
