Thanks for the advice. I am well aware of it.
so why ignore it?
This machine is a testing machine with very
little which is important and it is backed up
does not matter
there is no clean buildroot guaranteed if running as root
Forgive me my ignorance: quick question: does
rpmbuild --rebuild
includes running "make install"? I did not notice
for sure, try to understand how rpmbuild works
* unpack the sources
* run configure
* make install in the buildroot
* pack the RPM is all files are existing and listed in the %files section
and that is why running as root makes pretty no sense
/ from the view of the build-rpcoess is the clean buildroot
under rpmbuild and anything which tries ot break out there
is simply a bug which must not happen
so if all is working normal there is no need for root permissions
and if there comes a "permission denied" something was not normal
and thank god for not allow whatever it tried to run
