Although everyone should be aware that running build scripts from arbitrary sources can be dangerous I believe that many people will still do "fedpkg local" for a quick test when e.g. rebasing to a new upstream release. I would like to see the risks of this migrated by "fedpkg local" by default running the build as nobody, so that no user files can be accessed by the build scripts. I'm thinking along the lines of generating a srpm first, put that under a (mkstemp made) tmpfile in /tmp and then kick-off some suid nobody helper to do the actual rpmbuild. fedpkg local could provide a flag to override this behavior, but once supported I believe it should be the default.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Still relevant, changing version.
