Hi:
I'm trying to add a user (with a new group) and I can't get it to
work. Below are the relevant bits from the portfile.
set mythtvuser ${name}user
set mythtvgroup myth
set mythtvhomedir ${prefix}/var/${mythtvuser}
add_users ${mythtvuser} group=${mythtvgroup} home=${mythtvhomedir} \
passwd=mythtv realname=MythTV_User
There doesn't seem to be an error message from the add_users line but
when I use xinstall in the pre-activate phase, it complains there is
no such group. Also, in System Preferences->Accounts, my user
doesn't show up. (It should, right?)
If you want to see the full Portfile (with these bits commented-out), go to:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26787680/Portfile.MythTV.2012May16
I notice that other ports, like couchdb and dbus use separate
addgroup and adduser functions. Are these deprecated?
Craig
