Re: [gentoo-dev] Use GLEP27!

[Alexey Shvetsov]

Hi!

Ok. Since there is GLEP27 we should make it reality. To do so i think we 
should
1. Have some list of system uid/gid (on wiki for example). Also we need 
to agree on uid/gid numbers for services
2. Add uid/gid from list to existing ebuilds
3. Make a repoman (or may be eclass) check, that will no allow to commit 
ebuilds with enewuser enewgroup calls with undefined uids
4. Make some script or howto to migrate to determenistic uids/gids from 
1
