Obviously no packages try to mknod during their installation then. ;-) Does this handle e.g. fcron, where several binaries need to be setgid fcron and/or setuid fcron? It looks like any files will end up being setuid but owned by the non-root user that built the package here (or owned by root, if root unpacks the package with something like tar's - --no-same-owner flag), unless that's handled separately during the package installation. You are right: with enough workarounds, you don't need fakeroot. But if you install the package into DESTDIR as root (or as a package user), you don't need it either. ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH8rRZS5vET1Wea5wRAxFvAJ9rV10D8G8FBWnw28QTpLQcTFbMUgCeKaLV /C0KcDWqvivQKm98v0S8nIs= =k6MY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
