Description

On Ubuntu 20.04 with git version 2.25.1, sudo ./waf install causes warning message:

ubuntu@nfddev:~/ndn-cxx$ sudo ./waf install
Waf: Entering directory `/home/ubuntu/ndn-cxx/build'
fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/ubuntu/ndn-cxx' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:

        git config --global --add safe.directory /home/ubuntu/ndn-cxx

Running the suggested command does not clear this warning.

Yeah I saw this too since about a month ago. The warning is triggered by the fix for a recent CVE, more info here.

You can ignore the warning. It's harmless.
