Package: hello-transitional Version: 2.10-5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: ni...@thykier.net
Hi,Please apply the following patch to enable building hello-traditional without using (fake)root during build.
It leverages dpkg-deb's --root-owner-group feature that is available in dpkg from Debian oldstable (since dpkg/1.19.0 according to dpkg-deb's manpage).
Thanks, ~Niels
