--- Begin Message ---Package: mmdebstrap Version: 0.4.1-6 Severity: wishlist Hi Josch, When you run mmdebstrap with --mode=chrootless and ask it to create a tarball as an unprivileged user, the resulting tarball will have most files (but /dev) owned by the unprivileged user. This is less than ideal. Compare this to --mode=fakechroot. There mmdebstrap automatically adds fakeroot, but not so for --mode=chrootless. A trivial workaround is to run the whole mmdebstrap invocation inside fakeroot. I'm wondering what should be done about this, if anything: a) mmdebstrap should automatically enable fakeroot when it notices that it is run unprivileged in chrootless mode and creates a tarball. b) There should be a new mode for combining fakeroot and chrootless. c) The manual page should tell the user to run mmdebstrap under fakeroot. This last option also has the appeal that the user can retain the permissions and apply further modifications in the same fakeroot session before creating a tarball. At this point, I'm slightly in favour of c). Let me propose the following wording: When run unprivileged, permissions will generally be wrong even when creating a tarball. It is recommended to run mmdebstrap inside fakeroot in this case. What do you think? Helmut
