The following is a bit annoying when you want to install something as
a normal user, but just "ignore" any set permissions/owners/groups.
/usr/bin/install -c -o root -m 4755 mail.local
/home/update/ams/gnu-tools/gnu/stow/hurd//libexec/mail.local
/usr/bin/install: cannot change ownership of
`/home/update/ams/gnu-tools/gnu/stow/hurd//libexec/mail.local': Operation not
permitted
Would it be possible to add some kind of a --ignore=TYPE (with short
option -i), where TYPE is either `group', `mode', `owner' option that
would ignore EPERM or such and just continue if it was specifed? Then
one could make the install line look like "install -i owner -o root
..." or so, and it would just continue if you were a normal user and
not break my compile jobs...
Just a random thought...
