Description (Last modified by skvidal)

For my company we have a yum repository. Since we are not allowed to use users with root privileges we want to be able to use Yum as a non-privileged user. The RPM packages we use are all home-made.

sudo is not an option since the rpm is being installed on places where users have rights.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.
  • description changed.

you have to be able to modify the rpmdb when you update pkgs - that will require root.

Now if you just want to step around the root-uid check, that's not hard to do but not likely to be implemented upstream.
