acct-user/mythtv modifies the existing user if that user is not logged |
2 |
in. Mythtv has been around for years and users have created specialized |
3 |
configurations for the mythtv user. They do not like changes to the |
4 |
mythtv user when upgrading. |

A couple of solutions: |
7 |
|
8 |
1) |
9 |
the ebuild does not depend on acct-user/mythtv when the user already |
10 |
exists. This prevents both the changing and deletion of the existing user. |
11 |
|
12 |
What is the gentoo way to discover a preexisting user? Repoman does not |
13 |
like anything I tried using egetent passwd mythtv |
14 |
|
15 |
2) Add something to the acct-user/mythtv to (conditionally) prevent any |
16 |
change if there is a preexisting user on the system. The acct-user |
17 |
unmerge would also check that the user was not modified since it was |
18 |
created by acct-user. This seems like a lot of work. |
