Not all packages using the eclass necessarily need the "postgres" |
| 11 |
user/group to build/run. You should only add (R)DEPEND in the packages |
| 12 |
that actually call postgres_new_user, I think? |

Before doing this, please double-check that SHELL=/bin/bash and |
| 20 |
HOME=/var/lib/postgres are needed. It's likely that the default HOME |
| 21 |
can be used, and that dev-db/postgresql (which actually *uses* |
| 22 |
/var/lib/postgres) should control its permissions. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
You should also get an ACK from titanofold, since he's been maintaining |
| 25 |
postgresql essentially by himself forever (and may have some insight |
| 26 |
into the SHELL/HOME items). |
