No, symlinks are fine. I was referring to device nodes. But in cygwin's
case, they're not interesting anyway, so.. yeah. Rebuild the scripts to
use tar's --owner and --group switches, and you can get rid of
fakeroot.
Files are not necessarily owned by root or under the group of root.
They may need to be under the www-data user, mysql user, or games
group, or utmp group, or other things of that sort. And most likely it
is specific to each file, not the whole archive as a whole. Unless you
can use --owner and --group to specify the permissions for each
individual file, it doesn't solve the problem either.
