Description Urs Joss 2009-06-16 11:06:59 UTC

The default configuration as installed by current ebuild davfs2-1.3.3.ebuild lets davfs2run as user davfs2 which is not automatically created emerge.

Reproducible: Always




The patch creates user and group in pkg_setup.

Please bring in the patch, it is a pain, to install davfs2 and create user 'davfs2' and group 'davfs2' by hand on every machine.

Yeah, group is clearly needed, otherwise mount refuses to start.
Attached patch adds 'davfs2' group and short guideline for quick start.
