su and sudo are not allowed under --build-as-nobody. Being able to become a different user (who presumably can write to various places on the filesystem) breaks the protection of --build-as-nobody, which specifically prevents a broken build script from accidentally writing to the filesystem anywhere except in the fink packaging dirs (%d and %b). What does gnowsys-pg-install.sh do that requires being the postgres user? dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel
