I hope this is the right ML for asking this... another mail will follow with a similar request for vlock.

So, after almost two weeks, I have to suppose this isn't the right place. Where/who should I ask? Who's in charge of this? Maybe some dev can forward this mail (and the vlock one) to arch-dev-public?

I'm pulseaudio's maintainer in [community]. This package needs one user (pulse) and three groups (pulse, pulse-access, realtime) to work, but I couldn't find suggested ids for them. I didn't change the values I found when I inherited the package, so at the moment we have id 130 for pulse user and group and 131 for pulse-access. The 'realtime' group was added only recently, replacing the old pulse-rt, which had 132, and doesn't have any assigned gid, which is *bad*.

Small correction: realtime has to be removed in favour of pulse-rt, and this should be final.

It would be good to officially reserve a few ids for this package (130, 131 and 132, maybe?), also considering this package should someday go to extra...

About this last point, I think it was discussed a few times, and if I remember correctly Jan was the one who should have taken ownership to replace esd... will it happen anytime soon? Thanks, Corrado
