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