its1louder Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Trying to update gpsd, usually moving over the latest gentoo ebuild accomplishes this, but now its trying to find acct-user. My quick search on the subject suggests this is like the virtual ebuilds. Not sure what the funtoo policy is on this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 its1louder Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 seems related, I guess people are thinking about this since last year, first I've seen of it though https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-7168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 slavka Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) In case you're still wondering what it is and what it's trying to accomplish, take a look at this page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Categories_acct-group_and_acct-user As for funtoo policies, afaik this practice has not been adopted here (yet?), so every ebuild does its own user-group management. I think a good example of this is the www-servers/lighttpd ebuild. Edited March 8, 2021 by slavka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cardinal Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Reverse the changes gentoo made in the gpsd-3.20.ebuild and gpsd-999.ebuild for acct-user/gpsd: migrating from user.eclass https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/sci-geosciences/gpsd?id=52d0dd930929ebc49804bd4a8ecfe674e8cff3cc The other alternative is to add the acct-user.eclass and acct-user/gpsd/gpsd-0-r1.ebuild to the overlay.

0 its1louder Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I guess I may try adding the eclass directory to my local overlay and put in the accnt and user eclasses, that seems like the most manageable choice long term. But I want to think about all the consequences esp. If funtoo decides to go a different direction. I tried upgrading hplip too and it wants an lp user so this is going to start becoming an issue.
