Package: dbus Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
we have a project at Eaton related to 42ITy <http://42ity.org>, which produce a Debian derivative for a HW appliance. For storage footprint reason, we've gotten rid of perl. Now, we're adding avahi, which pulls dbus, which pulls perl through the adduser command and Depends. The attached patch moves adduser to Suggests, and use adduser only if available. It otherwise fallback to useradd. Note: there is a small nuance between useradd and adduser: the latter tries to use the smallest UID/GID for system users, while the former goes top down from SYS_UID_MAX. As an example, the original dbus postinst ended up with UID/GID 146 on my system, while the modified has 999… Thanks for considering its integration, Cheers, Arno -- Eaton Data Center Automation Solutions - Opensource Leader - http://42ity.org NUT (Network UPS Tools) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org Debian Developer - http://www.debian.org Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.fr
