Maybe. The usual procedure is
debian/rules build
fakeroot debian/rules binary
or
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
or
debuild
none of which would runs tests as root. On the other hand, using any
of these methods is extra hassle and if I can make it easier for
people to build git, I would like to.
Could you apply the patches from that thread[1] or pull/clone from
git://repo.or.cz/debian-git/jrn.git for-faheem
and let me know how it goes?
Thanks,
Jonathan
