For some reason the main tinyos-2.1.1 release code installs into /opt/tinyos-2.1.1, I assume with the uid/gid of 1001,1001. It should actually be a debian source package (not sure how Redhat does source packages, it has been quite a while since I've had a Redhat/Fedora system) which would install in a more reasonable place with more reasonable permissions. Bottom line, yes it is safe to change the uid/gid of the source files. There is nothing in the build process that requires anything special from the permissions. eric > > Thanks. > Armando > > _______________________________________________ > Tinyos-help mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help > -- Eric B.
