I have a makefile which creates a bff package. I use mkinstallp to create a package but it needs to run as sudo. This creates the problem as to run this we need to be logged in as root (or use sudo), The files created by this command are created with different permissions which created a problem in cleaning up of the workspace later. Is there a create a package without being logged in to root/sudo. In other words, is there a set of commands equivalent to mkinstallp?
