The normal solution for this is fakeroot, which is also what we're using for mksquashfs in buildroot: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/target/squashfs/squashfsroot.mk Phillip> I'll delay the release of the 4.0 tools and see if I can Phillip> implement this option in the next day or two. I would say rather get 4.0 out of the door as soon as possible and wait with such nice-to-have stuff for later. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
