" RPMs and compiling in the uid/gid are not mutually exclusive. Write a short
" shell function that gets an available uid/gid from /etc/passwd. Include that
" function in your RPM spec file and call it when appropriate.
Well. That doesnt solve my problem. I still have one static uid/gid
in my RPM package.
One possible solution is that I compile on rpm-installation via the
pre/postinstall section. ugly..but it should work.
