Subject: [gentoo-dev] RFC acct-{user,group} for asterisk

1 Hi,
2
3 As part of taking maintainership of the net-misc/asterisk package (and
4 related), one of the cleanup items is to use the new acct-{user,group}
5 method for assigning UID and GID values.
6
7 As such I'd like to please reserve UID and GID = 42 for asterisk.
8
9 Why 42?
10
11 echo -e "\x$(bc <<<"obase=16; 42")"
12
13 Current net-misc/asterisk uses a dynamically assigned UID and GID value.
14
15 I do not have permission to edit
16 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/UID_GID_Assignment_Table
17 (https://api.gentoo.org/uid-gid.txt).
18
19 Neither RHEL nor Fedora seems to have an asterisk user.  Arch uses 77. 
20 We already have qemu on 77.
21
22 Kind Regards,
23 Jaco
