Why aren't you building it with something like "mock" or "koji", that will create use a clean build environment at /var/cache/mock/ without localized modifications? I can understand that your working environment might have "/opt/" or other network mounted directories set up with read-only permissions. But writing to such a directory at build time is begging for difficulty. > Thx > Rainer > _______________________________________________ > packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'd urge you to use "mock" or "koji" and keep your software building out of the working environment of the build server itself. That way lies booby traps. _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
