I looked up an official package I know creates a user (postgresql) and it seems
to provide this file[1] and install it in the PKGBUILD[2] with the following
line (line 208) :
> install -Dm 644 ${pkgname}.sysusers
> "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/sysusers.d/${pkgname}.conf"

Use sysusers.d(5) to install a description of the user you need. systemd comes with a pacman hook to create users based on sysusers.d dropins (and for non-systemd distros using e.g. OpenRC, there are reimplementations like opensysusers, because this is generally portable and beneficial to use). You can usually specify the "-" placeholder instead of a reserved, hardocded uid, and have one automatically assigned. This is preferable whenever possible. You can check the output of $ pkgfile -vr '/usr/lib/sysusers.d/.*\.conf' to see which packages in the repositories use sysusers.d files, and see how they are using it for inspiration. (Or see which packages on your system provide files in /usr/lib/sysusers.d/) -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hey, An application I'm thinking about packaging for AUR requires its own user to run. Is it ok to be/How would I go about creating a "user" that will be created on the installer's system when they install the package? Thanks, Yash
