creating extensions and 'user' bootcode
« on: February 07, 2009, 08:30:00 AM »
I am now using the 'user' bootcode (this allows me to access files used with other distro) and am wondering if this has any impact on packaging extensions (especially extension I could submit to the community)

When I want to package a tce extension, I use GNU tar with the --numeric-owner, but now my user id (1000) is no longer same than the tc user id (1001). Before I package a tce, should I change ownership of the files to tc:staff and then su to the tc user?

chown should be enough, tar changes permissions only when unpacking as an user.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
