Subject: remove chown from makefiles too?
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:59:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A71B53D.7070205@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi, after the setuid bits got removed from the make install process,
this sort of thing is still left in several Makefiles:

install-exec-hook:
	list='$(sbin_PROGRAMS)'; \
	for p in $$list; do \
		chown root $(DESTDIR)$(sbindir)/$$p$(EXEEXT); \
	done

But this fails for a normal user installing into a chroot, as an
rpmbuild by a non-root user might do.

I don't think there's any reason for the chown; can this just be removed?

Thanks,
-Eric
