Xcode License Requires Admin Privileges

Early this morning, I installed on my MacBook Pro at work Apple’s latest software updates, including Xcode 6.0.1. The update went smoothly.

Later, I needed to work in my local copy of a Subversion repository, so as usual I grabbed the latest changes from the central copy of the repo before starting to work.

[heinlein@macbook trunk]$ svn update
  
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin
privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.

Ordinary user accounts cannot agree to Apple’s license. Obviously, we are all safer with that rule.
