That is an interesting idea. I do believe that not needing root to build should be a requirement of ours. It has, however, been a lower priority problem to solve, and thus has lingered in our build system for a long time.
Are there any other clever ways of solving this problem? Preferably where we can keep the source as source? -Brian Thus spake Bernard Li ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Was trying to build SystemImager trunk as a non-root user, can got the following error: cd /home/bli/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-3.7.2r3474M_bli/initrd_source/buil d_dir/dev && mknod -m 660 console c 5 1 mknod: `console': Operation not permitted make: *** [/home/bli/rpmbuild/BUILD/systemimager-3.7.2r3474M_bli/initrd_source/bui ld_dir.prep] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.31264 (%build) Would it be possible to tar up the special files (console, null) and just copy them over as needed?
