Sorry, I wasn't clear. You can't rely on creating users during the build process, as the place you build does not always equal the place you install. You _have_ to be able to build without creating the users. You use %pre to create the users as %pre is executed on the host that you're installing the package on, before the package files are put in place. %pre creates the user, %defatter defines that the files should be owned by said user when they're laid out on the file system. If the build (potentially without 'check') cannot complete without the user being added, you may be stuck with fixing the broken make system for that software. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
