As an example, we started to be nice citizens and prefixed all of our OpenStack package daemon users with "openstack-". We recently reverted that because one of the OpenStack sub-projects refused to support those. Since
Quite some upstream packages actually don't really care about the user names. openstack might be an exception there. I'm sure we'll always have some that can then be discused and whitelisted if needed.
I'd even go further in that system user/group names should be considered a domain of downstream distributions or users just as paths and not hardcoded at all. Many projects already do through compile-time macros or configure switches.
On the other hand, many people seem to have scripts which do expect a certain things. Usually they expect Debian package names (and we do provide some of the more common ones). So if somebody's got some connections to those folks it's best to make use of those first. -- Viele Grüße, Sascha Peilicke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
