From: Christian Schulte Subject: Handle /usr/ports/infrastructure/db/user.list locally To: ports@openbsd.org Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2026 14:28:15 +0200 Hi porters, the Porting Guide [1] mentions this: "20. If the application needs to create a user or a group, choose the lowest free id from /usr/ports/infrastructure/db/user.list for your port to use and don't forget to include that file in your commit." I would like to create a port e.g. at /usr/ports/localhost/localport which needs to add a user. How to handle the user.list file, if it is not going to get committed? Whatever user id I would choose, it will certainly lead to conflicts whenever some other port starts using the same ids. How to handle this locally without conflicting with others?
