Yes, but it is *much* better if you can to avoid having files owned by floating users in packages, because it greatly increases compatibility with image-based update systems. More on this in e.g. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/building-containers/#_invoking_useradd_as_part_of_a_container_build If for example you're doing the work to add sysusers right now and you happen to also have e.g. `/var/lib/foo` in your RPM owned by that user, please also take the opportunity to drop that entry (with `%ghost` if you want) and create it via systemd-tmpfiles instead. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
