the linked "solutions.md" file gives a hint. https://people.debian.org/~nthykier/rrr-no-as-default/docs/solutions.md point seems to be building debian packages without requiring root priv. that file suggests # How to handle my package when ... ## Package uses static ownership Example: chown root:www-data /some/path chgrp bin debian/tmp/usr/bin/binary install -o root -g bin build/some/binary debian/pkg/usr/bin/binary [...] * Set `Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets` in the source stanza That should get rid of it. That's also the solution for the "I do not have time for this" question. _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
