Hey,

I am still not sure if it's Harald or Reindl as first name.

Now for the matter in hands: I am building the software mostly manually if I can! The problem is that most software developers tend to build their software in a very good way. The kernel developers for example of a remarkable software is a very strict environment. If I cannot build the kernel as root user it is better to not build it at all from my aspect.

The RPMBUILD tools and other automation tools is suppose to help distributing and test the code. Once it has passed these tests why would I need to build them as a non-root user?

We all humans and we do tend to maybe miss here and there something but don't let these MOCKs and RPMbuilds to just *vaporise* the basic efforts which the developers invested.

I would say something like that: Building as root user\s level is not recommended due to couple incidents in the past.

All The Bests, Eliezer

DO NOT BUILD AS ROOT AND USE MOCK/RPMBUILD

what is your problem as you statet even in the original post that you know that it is not recommended to build as root but you insist in doing so?

*what* do you want to achieve with this thread?
