I use fakechroot daily to build an installer cd distro based on debian
(of course) and I honestly couldn't live without fakeroot/fakechroot.
I start the faked-sysv daemon at script startup to keep the script
readable like so:
foutput=`faked-sysv --save-file fakechroot.save`
export FAKEROOTKEY=${foutput:*}
export export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot-sysv.so
Then I do a bunch of filesystem and fakechroot calls in a loop, then
kill at the end:
kill ${foutput#*:}
It works perfectly at the moment so I'm not sure that I'd benefit from a
heavily repaired version, however this may change when I get to do more
with the script in the future - I really should look at the bugs I
guess. It's especially useful to me as I keep the distro in CVS and
every file has user permissions. Using root gives me headaches and makes
local backups to remote servers a real pain.
I'm glad there's someone around that won't let fakechroot die!! It's
really useful.
Cheers
Mark.
