DH_TESTROOT(1) Debhelper DH_TESTROOT(1)NAME
dh_testroot - ensure that a package is built with necessary level of root permissions
SYNOPSIS
dh_testroot [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_testroot is used to determine if the package has access to at least the level of root access that it declared it needed via the Rules-
Requires-Root (R3) field.
The following is how dh_testroot behaves based on the effective value of the R3 field:
"binary-targets"
dh_testroot asserts that it is run as root or under fakeroot(1).
"no"
dh_testroot returns successfully.
Any other value than the above
dh_testroot asserts that it is either run as root (or under fakeroot(1)) or the builder has provided the DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD environment
variable (e.g. via dpkg-buildpackage -r).
For backwards compatibility, dh_testroot will consider the absence of the R3 field as if the R3 field was set to "binary-targets".

DH_BUILDDEB(1) Debhelper DH_BUILDDEB(1)NAME
dh_builddeb - build Debian binary packages
SYNOPSIS
dh_builddeb [debhelperoptions] [--destdir=directory] [--filename=name] [--params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_builddeb simply calls dpkg-deb(1) to build a Debian package or packages. It will also build dbgsym packages when dh_strip(1) and
dh_gencontrol(1) have prepared them.
It supports building multiple binary packages in parallel, when enabled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
When the Rules-Requires-Root field is not (effectively) binary-targets, dh_builddeb will pass --root-owner-group to dpkg-deb(1).
OPTIONS --destdir=directory
Use this if you want the generated .deb files to be put in a directory other than the default of "..".
--filename=name
Use this if you want to force the generated .deb file to have a particular file name. Does not work well if more than one .deb is
generated!
-- params
Pass params to dpkg-deb(1) when it is used to build the package.
-uparams
This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1). It is deprecated; use -- instead.

All,
I want to run a non-root script as the root user with non-root environment variables with crontab. The non-root user would have environment variables for database access such as Oracle or Sybase. The root user does not have the Oracle or Sybase enviroment variables. I thought you could do... (2 Replies)
Hi,
Is it true that if I am not the root I can not select access permissions to a file that I own so that my friend (who also isn't the root) can access that file?
And is it true that the only way to accomplish it is to ask the root to "put" my friend into "my" group? Then I could simply set... (1 Reply)
Hi!
Ok, so I'm no programmer and I have basically no experience in these stuff. However I need to work on a thing (I think you call it Framework) called Root. It's a tool used by physicists. In the manual they keep talking about Environment variable. Even thou I searched for what it is on the... (5 Replies)
