oh I c, symlink program could perform an extra check then?
as this is the main command that enable the package on the system

as I really perform a by hand compilation of some/many packages that 
have no binaries neither recipe, or some rare cases where recipe is 
broken like "festival" (speech program, well it didnt compile here at 
all, was missing speech_tools download etc... :)),
and depending on my hurry I may compile as normal user to just install 
and symlink later as gobo,

it would be nice to not have to pay attention to this also, I mean avoid 
issuing the "find -not -user gobo" etc

it could be simple like show a list of all files (and directories even 
topmost parents at /Programs ex.: ./Festival) that are not set to 
gobo:gobo and ask if they should be chown properly, so we can make a 
fast review b4 concluding symlinkprogram execution?

well, I dunno if all files/directories should be really gobo:gobo, my 
guess is yes, they should,
tho that fibo:fibo of KDE-PIM dont seem wrong, but I believe if I set it 
to gobo:gobo would cause no problems and I am almost doing so :)

I mean, symlinkprogram shouldnt even ask, at most say that some files 
were chown properly and only if user add a -verbose option when calling 
it, as "chown gobo:gobo * -R" is really fast :)

just a suggestion of course :)
its not so bad to cd /Programs and "chown gobo:gobo * -R" from time to 
time :)
