You might need an entry in ./etc/shells, which fakeroot can sort out for you enough to create a tarball from ./etc that says the right "root" permissions, but you will never need an entry in build host /etc/shells as part of this. If you didn't try fakeroot before give it a go, it's pretty cool. uclinux can cook rootfs images using it as normal user safely. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkqc6YACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqjmgCeNz5xkTdUWRaSKiFfxfUe0BEt hiwAn2fbqmf334WZB7H2k2ebXDp2Ms2C =+CVg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
