Add two new capabilities to the pkginstall framework:
(1) Allow specifying the numeric UID and GID for users and groups in /etc/mk.conf by setting PKG_UID.<user> and PKG_GID.<group> to those values. If these values are specified, then the +USERGROUP script will verify that existing users and groups match the requested UIDs and GIDs for the package, and otherwise create them with these UIDs and GIDs. For example: PKG_UID.courier= 10001 PKG_GID.mail= 6 In this example, the courier-authlib binary package will be created to use uid 10001 for the "courier" user and gid 6 for the "mail" group. (2) Allow a package to request that users and groups be created prior to configuring or building a package by setting USERGROUP_PHASE to "configure" or "build". Because the reason for this is typically to hardcode the UIDs and GIDs of requested users and groups directly into the package's executables, these hardcoded values will be automatically determined and put into the +USERGROUP script. For example: USERGROUP_PHASE= configure PKG_GROUPS= qmail nofiles PKG_USERS+= qmaill:nofiles PKG_USERS+= qmailq:qmail In this example, the users and groups are created before the configure phase when building qmail, and the qmail binary package's +INSTALL script will try to create (or verify) users and groups with the same UIDs and GIDs that were used during the build. As part of these changes, the format for PKG_USERS and PKG_GROUPS has changed -- the optional parts of the corresponding entries are no longer used and cannot be specified. Instead, the following variables should be set: PKG_GID.<group> is the group's numeric GID. PKG_UID.<user> is the user's numeric UID. PKG_GECOS.<user> is the user's description. PKG_HOME.<user> is the user's home directory. PKG_SHELL.<user> is the user's login shell. A separate commit will follow which will fix all packages that set PKG_USERS and PKG_GROUPS to use the new syntax and variables.
