Description Peter Levine 2010-01-28 06:49:21 UTC 
The attached patch adds support in eutils.eclass for cross-helper utility (bug# 302570) so enewuser and enewgroup will work properly during cross-compilation on a native system.  egetent will check for the existence of cross-helper and if found use a grep statement, or else it will default to getent.  enewuser and enewgroup existence will check for the existence of cross-helper and use it.  Or it will emit an ewarn/ebeep message and proceed as usual.  I assumed I needed to file this in two bugs, thoough they are related, so please reference the bug# above.

Reproducible: Always

this isnt a cross-compiling specific issue.  any emerge where ROOT!=/ is a problem.  same answer as the referenced bug -- enhance shadow.
