I've gotten it built for nexenta (years of debian/ubuntu use have resulted in weird muscle memory associating dpkg-buildpackage with fakeroot), but it fails horribly. I haven't had time to look at it in depth, but I think that it might require porting to solaris. It basically plays LD_PRELOAD tricks to overload all of the functionsl that get uids off of files (so tarfiles built with it will have files all owned by root, etc). It allows building any package as a user. (and ensures that misbehaving software builds/installs don't modify the build host) -nld ___ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel
Re: Patching a file already being patched
Usually there should be a way to disable usage of fakeroot. But I could confirm that the version of fakeroot (binary) available on SchiliX ftp worked fine for me..

I do not remember, I think it was part of SchiliX ISO..
