Upstream Author : Dmitry Bogatov <KAction@gnu.org>
* Url : https://salsa.debian.org/runit-team/dh-sysuser
* Licenses : GPL-3+
Programming Lang : Perl
Section : admin
dh-sysuser provides a debhelper sequence addon named 'sysuser'
and command 'dh_sysuser', which provide declarating way to
ensure, that required users are present after package installation
and correctly handled after package removal.
It builds those binary packages:
* dh-sysuser

Changes since last upload:
* Fix description of sysuser-helper package: s/it's/its. (Closes: #844342)
+ Thanks: Toby Speight <T.M.Speight.90@cantab.net>
* Remove system user without home directory at package uninstall. If
there is no home directory, it seems safe to assume that no files
belong to that user, and removing that user will not cause harm.
* Create system users with /usr/sbin/nologin as shell.
* Do not impose dependency on bin:adduser. It is unneeded, since
bin:sysuser-helper uses useradd(8), which is provided by bin:passwd,
with is of required priority.
* Document in manpage, that sysuser-helper delegates its job to useradd(8)
(Closes: #848240)
* Remove useless account locking in prerm.
* Ensure that content of /etc/skel is not copied into home directory.
* Update Vcs-* and Homepage fields in debian/control.
* Update standards version to 4.1.3 (no changes needed)
* Bump compat version to 11 (no changes needed)
* Document and implement login, that system user is removed
when it has either empty home directory or none at all (Closes: #848239)
Regards,
Dmitry Bogatov
