Subject: [PATCH] debianize: set DEBIAN_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT default to "no"
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 12:57:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251025165759.32388-1-badrikesh.prusty@siemens.com> (raw)
From: badrikesh prusty <badrikesh.prusty@siemens.com>
With DEBIAN_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT set to "no" by default, building Debian
packages no longer requires root privileges.
In dpkg version ≥ 1.22.13 (present in Debian Trixie), the default value
is "no". In earlier dpkg versions (used in Debian Bookworm and before)
the default value of Rules-Requires-Root was "binary-targets".
This ensures modern dpkg compatibility and safe, non-root builds for
older Debian versions, unless explicitly overridden.
Fixes: https://github.com/ilbers/isar/issues/113
