Anyway, stunnel is 341 now, and 492 is (provisionally) reserved for oprofile. Ulrich signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I meant that if you don't care about the specific number, you just make a request saying you'll take the highest free UID/GID pair at the time (that said, please try to use matching UID/GID for convenience's sake). That is, unless you want to take a specific lower number. Since there's no point in waiting again, just look at uid-gid.txt, find highest free UID/GID, verify that nobody else used or requested it. Then commit it, and make sure to update uid-gid.txt. -- Best regards, Michał Górny signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[gentoo-dev] RFC: request uid/gid for net-misc/stunnel
Hi everyone, I know that is my third time requesting a uid/gid for stunnel, but it seems that my previous request was already taken but not added to the uid-gid.txt file, so I didn't know about the collision. Speaking with mgorny on #gentoo-dev, he suggested that we start simply making a request, and he'll assign the highest free value(s) at the time. So @mgorny, can i please have a UID and GID pair for stunnel. Thanks! -- Anthony G.
