OK. I've been looking at some of these issues we've been having, and |
| 2 |
I've been thinking of moving enewuser, egetent, and enewgroup to their |
| 3 |
own eclass. This will resolve some issues with things in system, or |
| 4 |
otherwise early on, requiring shadow on Linux to get useradd. Two |
| 5 |
examples of this are bug #113298 and bug #94745. By putting them in |
| 6 |
their own eclass, we can keep from adding shadow to DEPEND in eutils, |
| 7 |
while still putting the dependency in the eclass that uses it. |

I'd be willing to make all the changes to the tree to facilitate this, |
| 10 |
and unless someone has a really good reason not to do so, I think I'll |
| 11 |
probably do it after the Thanksgiving holiday. |
