I see two technical solutions:
- either using the system tar: this would not work in the case of
cross compilation (and in some circumstances only) but would work in
the other case. I believe that all the debian packaging tools are
just using the system provided tar, so this should closely mimic the
debian-packaging machinery better,
Cross-compiling is one thing, cross packaging is another.
I think trying to cross-package is a very hard task (unless you simply
create a bare archive (tar, zip, etc...)
Sorry I wanted to say cross-packaging. Still I think using the system
default tar program is a good way to go.
- or using a CPACK variable to avoid having fakeroot executed
seems awkward to disable black magic with another black magic spell.
I agree.
I see several workarounds/hacks:
- executing with fakeroot in cpack first and in case of failure
falling back to run tar without fakeroot
- detect if the current user is root already
Detecting if user is already root doesn't seems to be such a big hack
it should even be robust as well and should be a 2 line modfication
in CPackDeb.cmake protecting it even detecting FAKEROOT alltogether.
Right, but I am more concerned about the proper way of doing it and not
the difficulty. From all this discussion, using fakeroot directly does
not look to me as the right solution for having "root" in the tar, in
the first place. So if we are also able to get rid of the fakeroot
machinery in cpack, maybe it would be a better solution.
