It seems like all fedora-usermgmt was doing is as follows: - Reserve a UID for a package to use. - Add 30000 to that UID. Why don't we just have packagers request a UID for a package on a wiki page, starting at 30012 (fedora.us had 30000 - 30011)? Then, use the normal tools to create the user. Alternately, we could just keep using fedora-usermgmt. I'd assume it made its way into the FE repo, since clamav is using it? We just need to migrate the wiki pages. ~spot -- Tom "spot" Callaway: Red Hat Senior Sales Engineer || GPG ID: 93054260 Fedora Extras Steering Committee Member (RPM Standards and Practices) Aurora Linux Project Leader: http://auroralinux.org Lemurs, llamas, and sparcs, oh my! -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
