30/08/2019: Removal of fakeroot
The fakeroot
package is no longer used by the package manager. Instead each package is built and archived with the ownership of whatever user ran the package manager.
On installation of a package the files are then installed with the ownership set to root:root
achieving the same behavior in the end as fakeroot
.
fakeroot
is a nasty hack and adds quite a lot of overhead to builds. I am now able to rebuild GCC in only 10 minutes!
