Subject: | [gentoo-dev] New acct-* package policy |
Date: | Sat, 21 Dec 2019 17:32:33 |

1 | Hello, everyone. |
2 | |
3 | The Council has approved removing policy part from GLEP 81 [1] which |
4 | enabled QA to establish a new easier policy for acct-* packages [2]. |
5 | |
6 | The most important change is that the requirement of gentoo-dev RFC is |
7 | removed. Instead, developers just take the next free UID/GID in range |
8 | 499..101 and commit the packages at will. The policy recommends going |
9 | downwards from 499, and taking the same number for matching user/group |
10 | (even if it would mean leaving gaps in assignments). |
11 | |
12 | Please commit and push uid-gid.txt [3] change to data/api.git *before* |
13 | your packages. This makes sure that any potential collisions are caught |
14 | as merge conflicts before they hit users. The CI also catches UID/GID |
15 | collisions. |
16 | |
17 | I hope this will make migrating packages to the new system much easier. |
18 | Thanks to all the people participating in the effort. |
