Hello, Before writing a patch for the ports framework, I just want to be sure that FreeBSD ports shouldn't use a same user added by ports. For example pulseaudio adds some users to the system (pulse, pulse-whatever) and should these users be needed from others ports ?
My plan is : 1. Register users added and needed by ports in files like +USERS +GROUPS, 2. When make deinstall or pkg_delete port_name check if the user is still needed by other port (if this is possible) 3. Print a message like "The following users and group are not needed anymore by the system : xxx yyy" pkgsrc already use something like this, so a port should be really easy to be done. -- Demelier David _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
