Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-09 06:13:59 UTC 
The summary pretty much says it all.  Any changes to users/groups needs to be done in pkg_setup, preferably, or pkg_preinst or pkg_postinst.  If you do any user management in src_* then it does not happen properly on systems using binary packages.  This breaks (or will break) 2006.1's GRP installs.

Thanks...

I just looked through the ebuilds and can't see what you are saying, perhaps I am missing something, please re-open if you think the problem still exists

Chris,

Any clarification?

Honestly I don't see it.  I *swear* that I saw it, but I can't possibly tell you where now.  I know that I wouldn't have filed a bug for no reason, but CVS doesn't lie.

oh. Well it could have been an old ebuild that I deleted a while back... one of the Gnome herd tards insisted that pkg_postinst() was wrong and they screwed with a bunch of stuff. Which resulted in like 40 bugs being created because they were wrong.

Which is why I have the note in the ebuild to stop touching stuff and the link to the dev manual.
