Summary: Review Request: fakeroot - Gives a fake root environment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220888 ------- Additional Comments From Axel.Thimm@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-01-05 00:46 EST ------- Please, let me restate that this no conflict with the packaging guidelines. The "preferred" can be at best interpreted as a SHOULD requirement, so by definition it is nothing to block on, and it is also nothing that "slips" QA in any way. I would even consider the demythifying of the needed `id -un` urban legend as an improvent in package quality even if it jeopardizes the use-case where several users build exactly the same package at the same time, which probably happened already twice since the passing of the millenium (and I mean the first one ;). > > > how hard is it, really, to copy and paste the > > > "BuildRoot: ..." line from the Guidelines wiki page? ^_^) > > Rephrasing the above: How hard is it, really, to simply let the current > > BuildRoot pass? > It is very difficult for me Well, that makes two stubborn packagers out of us, doesn't it? Anyway I need to stay hard on this as a long-time educational measure. id -un only landed in there due to early misunderstanding that "root" didn't mean a user but a build-"root" and the id -un obfusaction serves little to nothing. > > Anyway I think fakeroot is a useful package and it will probably find > > another reviewer.

Now let me fire up that doll. ;) P.S. if you feel this discussion needs to be carried on, please let's leave bugzilla for the review and discuss this preferably on fedora-packaging or any other list, we abused bugzilla for discussing the packaging guidelines. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
