Red Hat's rpm contains a %attr(-,root,root) directive that overrides the owners stored in the embedded cpio of the .rpm file. Therefore generally fakeroot is not needed with rpm. Simply use %attr to set the ownership as you require them to be set. You will still see the builder's ownership in the .rpm file (e.g. rpm2cpio) but at installation time the ownership will be set by rpm explicitly.
Minor point (don't let it distract from the main point of the thread), this is incorrect. rpm alters the file data when STORING data into the embedded .cpio, not when EXTRACTING. rpm2cpio | cpio -itv will reveal the %attr attributes, not the on-disk attributes at build time. -frank _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
