I've gotten it built for nexenta (years of debian/ubuntu use have resulted in weird muscle memory associating dpkg-buildpackage with fakeroot), but it fails horribly. I haven't had time to look at it in depth, but I think that it might require porting to solaris. It basically plays LD_PRELOAD tricks to overload all of the functionsl that get uids off of files (so tarfiles built with it will have files all owned by root, etc). It allows building any package as a user. (and ensures that misbehaving software builds/installs don't modify the build host) -nld _______________________________________________ gnusol-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel
