Bug 703016 – net-misc/openssh : support GLEP 81 user creation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Michael 2019-12-15 17:39:04 UTC]

This is an enhancement request to add RDEPEND="acct-user/sshd" to create the sshd user instead of user.eclass.  Standardizing on these account packages allows for easier management (#702624).  I'll attach a patch and ebuilds.

Reproducible: Always




It looks like net-misc/dropbear is another package that creates the sshd user, so it can share this runtime dependency.  I can open a separate bug for that if this change is accepted.

GLEP 81 for openssh

Drop user.eclass in favor of RDEPEND="acct-user/sshd".

Is there anything blocking this?

We will close this bug after older versions of openssh are removed from the tree.

[Comment 7 David Michael 2020-06-02 14:23:37 UTC]

It looks like all openssh ebuilds are using acct-*/sshd dependencies now.
