I'd like to build SystemImager 3.8.0 RPMs myself, but the build process bombs out for a non-root user:
(lines deleted) # If build OS has /lib64, link it to /lib test ! -d /lib64 || ( cd /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir && ln -s lib lib64 ) mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/proc mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/root mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/sbin mkdir -p -m 1777 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/tmp mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/usr mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/usr/bin mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/usr/sbin mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/var mkdir -p -m 0755 /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/var/run cd /tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir/dev && mknod -m 660tty1 c 4 1 mknod: `tty1': Operation not permitted make: *** [/tmp/rpmbuild/systemimager-3.8.0/initrd_source/build_dir.prep] Error1 error: Bad exit status from /tmp/rpmbuild/rpm-tmp.64287 (%build) ---- Question: How do I enable a non-root user to build SystemImager RPMs, since there seems to be restrictions in creating device files for unpriviledged users ? -- Ole Holm Nielsen Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
