Dear magic pony,

please create a new user 'jenkins' and group 'jenkins' for package 'jenkins'

Read the documentation on how to use useradd and groupadd in %post? That's not the point, rpmlint (rightfully) complains afterwards, that this group/user (added thru %post) isn't part of some global whitelist. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke

Not to out myself as dumb (I'm uninformed, not dumb), but would it be better to do the useradd and groupadd in %preinst ? otherwise, just how would the filesystem / kernel determinate the needed numeric values for uid/gid during the %install of the files / directories?

I'm asking here to clear this up before something inherently false is propagated as "correct" way without any thought on the consequences. Uhm, I meant %pre, not %post. Thanks for the correction. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke

Is it a good idea to use English surnames for system accounts? :)

Sure not. Rightfully Mr. Jenkins will complain about such a change! Namespaces should be properly separated. Like by a '_' prefix maybe? Richard. -- Richard Guenther Novell / SUSE Labs SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nuernberg - AG Nuernberg - HRB 16746 GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer

In reality, this is for http://jenkins-ci.org/ Sascha and I have briefly discussed getting this packaged properly on OBS, as it is the successor to Hudson. Its an excellent tool and one of my colleagues at work here is one of the lead maintainers. At some point, he hopes to create an OBS plugin to enable them to work together. I can see how they complement each other and also will allow OBS code itself to receive continuous unit testing for each commit. We use Jenkins here extensively at work and it's very definitely something I hope is part of 12.1 and optionally SLES. So, how does one get this new system user white listed for rpmlint and the distro?
