Hi Mat?j,

I think release 20140727b should address your needs - just run
./configure with --enable-runas-user=`id -gn` and make sure that your
spec file creates the user before install, and that your .spec file's
%files section sets the proper owner and group for the directories.

Let me know how it goes.

I've also pushed the changes to my repo, so you may want to resynch.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Matthias
