Summary : Gives a fake root environment
Description :
This package is intended to enable something like:
fakeroot rpm --rebuild
i.e. to remove the need to become root for a package build.
This is done by setting LD_PRELOAD to a "libfakeroot.so.0.0",
that provides wrappers around chown, chmod, mknod, stat,
etc.
If you don't understand any of this, you do not need this!
