When relying on useradd-staticids, this commit [1] made the problems that this [2] bug causes, much worse. Prior to that commit we could predict with surprising accuracy what the UID and GID would be for the very small number of systemd-* accounts that were created (or simply patch the expected UID/GID values in, but that never became necessary). After that commit, a bunch of system accounts and groups get created with the wrong UID and/or GID.
I suppose this is an opportunity to implement BZ9789. But since this issue is so old it either means it was forgotten, or it is really hard in some non-obvious way. Is there any insight available into which it is? The solution seems pretty straight forward, so that pretty much guarantees I am missing something important. In the systemd_create_users function inherit extrausers, set the appropriate variables, call set_user_group directly, and then remove set_user_group from ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND. So where did I go wrong there? Also, does it make sense to return from systemd_create_users early if read-only-rootfs is *NOT* in IMAGE_FEATURES? Thank you, ..Ch:W.. P.S. I think there is also a legitimate bug in systemd_create_users. I noticed a few situations where it was trying to add a non-standard home directory to the useradd command, but it was missing the --home-dir flag, so the useradd command silently broke and did not fail the build. 1. https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=a94e622f222253c6646f1a1157f918d8aa586866 2. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9789 -- *"Perfection must be reached by degrees; she requires the slow hand of time." - Voltaire*
