Hello, I have read through the debian packaging documentation and am playing around with it currently, however I have not yet figured out how to control the ownership of files installed from a binary debian package. I realize that normally installed package files should be owned by root, however I assume that exceptions are allowed for.
When I create my package, using "dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot", the relevent debian/tmp files are owned by my user account (not root), however after running "dpkg -i <package_name>" as root, these files are installed with root ownership. Note that I used dh_make to create my initial debian control files. The debian/rules file had a reference to dh_fixperms which seemed like it might be the culprit here. However, commenting out the call to dh_fixperms does not seem to make a difference. I know the problem could be solved via a postinst script, but that doesn't seem like a good solution to me. Thanks in advance, Steve McWilliams [EMAIL PROTECTED]
