Package: fakechroot
Version: 2.19-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
As stated in the man page :
"It is important to start fake environment in proper
order. fakeroot should be started inside fakechroot"
Indeed, we get an error if not :
$ fakeroot fakechroot chroot mychroot
# mknod /tmp/nullbis c 1 3
mknod: /tmp/nullbis: No such file or directory
However, it may be convenient to use the other order in some circumstances
(e.g., in debirf) : one may swap libfakeroot and libfakechroot in
LD_PRELOAD if needed.
With the patch below :
$ fakeroot fakechroot chroot mychroot
# mknod nullbis c 1 3
# echo $?
0
# ls -AlF nullbis
crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 Feb 15 17:01 nullbis
Regards,
JH Chatenet
