dist: debian: do not require root during package build #124

Closed avikivity closed 4 years ago

avikivity commented 4 years ago

Debian package builds provide a root environment for the installation scripts, since that's what typical installation scripts expect. To avoid providing actual root, a "fakeroot" system is used where syscalls are intercepted and any effect that requires root (like chown) is emulated.

However, fakeroot sporadically fails for us, aborting the package build. Since our install scripts don't really require root (when operating in the --packaging mode), we can just tell dpkg-buildpackage that we don't need fakeroot. This ought to fix the sporadic failures.

As a side effect, package builds are faster.

Follows scylla.git's b608af870b0a1ad88b91a72bddeff0c321877f9e.
