1 Hello,
2
3 After building my new system last week, I've found out, that the chown doesn't
4 accept the dot-version (user.group) anymore (except when we downgrade the
5 posix version with an environment variable).
6
7 bash-2.05b# chown florian.users blah
8 chown: `florian.users': invalid user
9
10 This also means that a lot of ebuilds have to be fixed.
11
12 On my system, 16 ebuild are affected, and at least six are from the system
13 layout (mailbase man portage baselayout slocate linux-headers)
