Now that the dust from 4.20 landing has settled a bit...

Hi,
I think all the issues wrt. sysusers in systemd and setup have been
resolved.

I outlined the migration process last year in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/NEFOV236FJYS2RED2SEOV5YHDFLDX7DK/#OYCWXKAMIXEZNYPVOM6VQ3YYXQ76M3DG
but failed to follow-up, so I'm glad to see this getting revisited.
I started looking into this, and I think we need to start at the
bottom, i.e. in the setup package.
It currently provides /etc/{passwd,group} with a bunch of ids (23 groups)
and /usr/lib/sysusers.d/20-setup-{users,groups} with a bunch of entries,
but some of the groups listed in sysusers are not listed in the /etc files.
IIUC, once we enable the rpm stuff, rpm will create /etc/{passwd,group}
automatically, and the file provided by setup will be ignored.
(It's specified as %config(noreplace).)
I was confused here. setup generates its two sysusers files from the
passwd/groups file that it distributes, so they will always match.
We added the missing group defintions that systemd-udev relies on to
default groups file distributed by setup (in setup-2.15.0-3). The next
build of systemd (256~rc4-1) will drop its sysusers.d/basic.conf file.
Please carry on with the enablement of rpm sysusers handling ;)
Excellent :) With the duplicates gone from systemd basic.conf gone, a
logical next step would be turning on hard dependencies for users and
groups before the F41 mass rebuild (by dropping
rpm-4.19.91-weak-user-group.patch from Fedora rpm).
All the necessary user/group provides should already be in place since
F40 mass rebuild, and it shouldn't matter which mechanism actually
creates the users, so it's not committing to any changes in user/group
handling as such, this is just an extra packaging hygiene step in the
process.
I'll be out for the entire July, but Florian and Michal will be around.
