My point is, that even the handbook tells user to modify groups. I.e. |
7 |
you should add your user to group X for being able to do Y... |

That's OK. That's normal. |

But if everything in Gentoo has migrated to acct-* stuff, these changes |
12 |
will get reverted once the user will re-emerge world including acct-* |
13 |
package or such a package will get updated for some reason. |
14 |
|
15 |
This is unexpected. Also, I hope nobody expects that every user using |
16 |
sudo for example needs to maintain an own acct-*/sudo fork in his/her |
17 |
overlay in future just because in Gentoo, you cannot use normal Linux |
18 |
tools like usermod anymore because your changes might get resetted |
19 |
during some upgrade. |

21 |
That's what currently might happen with the current implementation which |
22 |
tries to keep user/group state like described in package. Something you |
23 |
will only see in Gentoo and no other distribution. |
