This is for detecting errors. The most important and frequent error that is caught by --build-as-nobody is that files are installed during the build phase of the package outside of the build directories, such as directly into %p=/sw/ instead of %i=/sw/src/fink.build/root-packagename/sw/, or even worse, somewhere into /usr/. Such bugs are difficult to detect otherwise. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
