No, it doesn't. I don't need or want your pity, or your snarky 'tude,
either, especially seeing as how you seem perfectly willing to admit you
don't know anything about RPMs yet you claim Debian's installation
process is superior without offering so much as a whit of evidence in
support.
But this is not germane to our discussion.
What I *do* want is a mechanism to build RPMs as a non-root user. This
spamassassin doesn't currently offer. The proffered patches will fix
this problem nicely. I vote they go in to CVS.
