This proposal would effectively move all existing packages that create users or groups from useradd/groupadd (called by those %sysuser* macros underneath) to systemd-sysusers(8). I wonder if we shouldn't first just move those macros over to systemd-sysusers to test-drive this utility at a larger scale and catch any potential bugs or issues before actually proceeding with the remaining steps as outlined in the email. That's a lower-risk first step that should be fairly easy to implement right away, as mentioned in: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Adopting_sysusers.d_format -- Michal Domonkos / RPM dev team / Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
