I'm pretty sure this was needed when I set it up. Might be related to how our CI ran/runs. |

fakerootwhen building RPMs. Unlike when building.debfiles, the.rpmpackaging process is intended to be performed by a regular, unprivileged user. It doesn't require root permissions (even fake ones), because installed-file permissions are stored as package metadata and applied when the package is extracted and installed.
