I have updated the git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib mhatle/uidgid to the
latest oe-core master.
I haven't seen any comments on this RFC yet. Does anyone have any opinion
either way on the code referenced here?
I'm confident patch 01/02 should be added to master.
The patch 02/02 works properly in all of my testing and does implement support
for 'deterministic uid/gid' with dynamic passwd/group file construction during
package install. The code is only activated if USERADD_REWRITE_PARAMS is set to
'1', so it's low risk -- but it does add a fairly large chunk of code to be
maintained over time.

The following series implements the deterministic uid/gid setting for a
distribution. Currently when a filesystem is generated the uid/gid values
are generally set at install time, so the install order determines what
the actual uid/gid values become. In order to create a deterministic uid/gid
set, that still dynamically constructs the passwd/group file, we add an
option to read a special passwd/group file to allow the system to determine
the values.
It uses the existing parameters, and the values from the special passwd/group
files to reconstruct the parameter set to ensure these items are fully
defined with static values.
The first patch (01/02) is generally applicable. It fixes a real bug in
the way the user/group adds occur today within the system.
Patch 02/02 implements the new functionality.
