Who is Ravi, and why do we need that account?  Is it possible the package should be fixed?

Thanks.

Hi , This warning is due to  AIX does not have "root" user in "root" group  and  "root"  is in system group in AIX, so it has taken build user by default. You can ignore warning for now, it will work perfectly.

In next release we will fix this issue.
