Plain rpmlint cannot be used in the build root as it would introduce python in each every build root. Therefore rpmlint-mini collects all necessary files from python and rpmlint and pre-compiles them to create a stand-alone package. The rpmlint-mini package is not meant to be used on real sytems, it's just a special hack for the build root.
First I found out that osc build doesn't use the rpmlint rpm at build-time; it uses rpmlint-mini, and rpmlint-Factory (even if not building for Factory, I think). The latter seems to be just a small layer of additional rpmlint configuration though.
Yes, rpmlint-Factory is a bit of a misnomer, rpmlint-policy-openSUSE or something like that would be better suited. It only contains badness settings.
Hmm. So the package obs-service-download_files creates a user it actually doesn't have anything to do with!? I guess there should be e.g. a obs-filesystem package that creates the user and owns some basic directories. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
