It works with fakeroot, the user the build runs at is configureable in /etc/pbuilderrc. The reason you require root for the whole thing is because of unpacking the chroot, chrooting itself, installing build dependencies, and purging the chroot again. Only the part between build dependencies and purging the chroot (the actual package building) can do without root privileges, and pbuilder will drop root appropriately in that stage, and use (by default) fakeroot where needed. See the BUILDSOURCEROOTCMD="fakeroot" configuration entry in /etc/pbuilderrc. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
