You should now be able to do compilation and tests without having the |
| 18 |
user/group created. For example, dev-db/postgresql doesn’t need the |
| 19 |
postgres system user and group in order to successfully run through |
| 20 |
src_test and src_install. It just needs the user/group at run time. |
