[pacman-dev] Adding new users/groups
What's the procedure for adding new system users/groups to the system. There's a lot of install scripts that add users/groups with specific ids, is there a list somewhere of all the names/ids used to stop 2 different packages from trying to use the same id? Andrew

Developers have such list. Why do you need this and why ask on pacman-dev? ;) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Ooops this should have gone to arch@. Why... just a random thought :p I'm looking at what common tasks are being repeated in install files. Andrew

The better question- why is this not a public list? -Dan
