Well, it doesn't go well. When I build leafnode with a random user
(i.e., whatever user the build system uses via $(id -un)) I get build
correctly, but it doesn't work
(http://www.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/pipermail/leafnode-list/2014q4/002571.html).
When I build the package (on my own system, where I have existing 'news'
user) the package runs, I haven't been able to make more tests yet.

When reading
http://www.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/leafnode/beta/leafnode-readme.txt
it seems that package should be buildable WITHOUT user 'news' (or
whatever is specified as a value of --with-runas-user parameter)
actually existing, but my tests of building seems to suggest otherwise
(see https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/146/8480146/build.log).

So, can I ask once more ... how to build leafnode-2 without user
specified in --with-runas-user actually exists? Or is it just something
else, that when leafnode-2 is build with another user than 'news' it
doesn't work?

Best,

Matěj
