Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

please add `enewuser` and `enewgroup` to the postgres ebuilds so we can remove
them from baselayout's passwd/group

Comment 1 Paul Bredbury 2006-01-16 05:57:45 UTC

The user & group are created in pkg_setup() for versions >=7.3.11 - why has e.g. version 7.3.10 been excluded?

Paul, 

I don't want to edit stable ebuilds. (7.3.11 was unstable when I added it)
That's why I didn't add it to the ebuild.

All dev-db/postgresql ebuilds do now have enewuser/enewgroup calls to create their own groups and users, closing this.
Best regards, CHTEKK.
