Hi, I would love to see a change in the guidelines, here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_guidelines#Users_and_Groups It is mentioned to create a file named '%{name}-user.conf' I would propose to name it '%{name}.sysusers' or '%{name}.sysusersd' It is more close and following the scheme we already use with: - %{name}.firewalld - %{name}.logrotate - %{name}.sysconfig - %{name}.service - %{name}.tmpfilesd What do you think ?

This is how I already name the files for the packages I've adapted to this in Fedora and openSUSE. It does have to be installed into %{_sysusersdir}/%{name}.conf, but that's fine to separately specify. It's probably better to simply not specify a specific file name for the original Source file and leave it to the packager. It's not like it matters that much anyway. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

Correct, because the package used as example from Factory is using system-user-*.conf
I would propose to name it '%{name}.sysusers' or '%{name}.sysusersd'
I would propose to not specify it, as it currently isn't specified how you call that name, too.

Will not work with several existing packages. Your assumption that there is exactly one sysuser.d file per source package is not correct. So a clear veto from my side. Don't specify something in a way which will not work with current packages. And I don't see a need to specify it at all.
