2. adduser/group/etc. => sysusers files

For anyone willing to do this in advance on his/her package - this is how you 
can do that:

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/commit/cf4c8f076637755acc3cf4eb091d8ebb36020237

Here is relevant FPC ticket:
   https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/442

Just for the record - this does not make things to run faster. You still have 
to have %pre scriptlets. It is likely even
slower as you are running %posttranstrigger as well. The benefit is here only 
that we move toward declarative specification.


That’s also going to fail, because the %pre script executes before the
file exists. That’s why these guidelines are broken, and why I
suggested we deal with sysusers differently.

Oops, you're right. As /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.systemd says,
%sysusers_create is "deprecated. Use %sysusers_create_package instead".


It’d be better to subpackage it and have a file trigger that runs for
each package that contains those files and creates the sysusers. That
ensures ordering, existence, and makes it reliable. Subpackages will
also allow other packages to be able to depend on those if needed
without the software (e.g. apache user being used by both apache httpd
and nginx).

I was about to say sub-packages seem a bit heavy solution to user creation but instead I'm going to say that thinking about it a bit, it is a pretty powerful solution (user/group -dependencies being a nice example) and one that actually works by leveraging widely deployed rpm mechanisms.

And since that's used by OpenSUSE then basically we just need to adopt a working solution, and we'd be increasing unity in the packaging world as an extra bonus.

So a big +1 for sysusers in sub-packages + file trigger to handle running systemd-sysusers. It solves more problems than the current sysusers-proposal and in a far more elegant way at that.
