creating extensions and 'user' bootcode

[florian]

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.
