Since openSUSE 12.1, these directories have permission 0755, so that non-root users can no longer build RPMs. Up to openSUSE 11.4, the directories under /usr/src/packages/ had permission 1777 (world-writable, restricted deletion flag set). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 12.1 RC2 2. As a non-root user, try to copy some sources to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and build an RPM package using 'rpmbuild'. Actual Results: Non-root users can't write to /usr/src/packages/; building RPMs is not possible. Expected Results: Building RPMs as non-root user should be possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
