fakeroot - Gives a fake root environment

Website: http://fakeroot.alioth.debian.org/
License: GPL+
Vendor: Fedora Project
Description:
fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to have
root privileges for file manipulation. fakeroot works by replacing the
file manipulation library functions (chmod(2), stat(2) etc.) by ones
that simulate the effect the real library functions would have had,
had the user really been root.

fakeroot-1.12.4-2.fc14.src [396 KiB] Changelog by Richard W.M. Jones (2010-05-27):
- Strip libfakeroot-*.so (RHBZ#596735).
- Verified that libguestfs still builds and runs with this change (this
  represents a fairly aggressive test of fakeroot).
