hmm, although this is no redhat mailing-list (we are talking ***mandrake*** here - imagine!!), rpm is a common tool available in mandrake, too, and so I'll try an answer:
you can for sure build rpms as a "normal" user as long as - you have sufficient write-permissions where you want to build (and I doubt that /usr/src/redhat is writeable for normal users). - the tools you need to build the package (some of them invoced by rpm itself) have to be executable for normal users, which should be the normal case. that should be it ... udo On Mon, 2002-02-18 at 05:40, Nguyen Hung.Takeshi wrote: > daRcmaTTeR wrote: > > > On Sun, 17 Feb 2002 22:38:35 -0500 > > "Nguyen Hung.Takeshi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> studiouisly spake these > > words to ponder: > > > > > spake or spkeak ? :) > > > > > > > you can't. that is a "root" user function. to attempt to change this would > > break things and also alert all the tree gnomes that there is someone evul > > amongst them.
