I think fakeroot is a bit different from the DESTDIR approach. I've come across references to it in debian. A quick gurgle gave me as a first link FakeRoot is a tool that offers applications the illusion of root privileges. This is most often used for building packages with correct permissions. FakeRoot-P is a performance-oriented re-design of FakeRoot, scalable on multi-core architectures. https://github.com/sslab-gatech/fakeroot-p No idea about it, e.g. how reliable, or if it might do something nasty (or even evil). For the original in debian sid [ testing ] (because other debian versions might be old and therefore hard to build on recent systems) : https://packages.debian.org/sid/fakeroot That mentions a package pseudo (a git version, which improves on the problems seen using fakeroot) - as a package which provides fakeroot. But fakeroot-1.21-3 is linked from that page. so I'm not at all clear what pseudo is. And the testing, current stable are using 1.21-1. And more details about fakeroot in the debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/FakeRoot The link from their wiki to the project website (freecode, no longer updated) shows a release in 2004. ĸen -- thread 'main' panicked at 'giraffe', /tmp/rustc-1.32.0-src/src/test/run-fail/while-panic.rs:17:13 -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
