Package: lintian Severity: wishlist <@weasel> not that I'd file a bug about this, but I don't like this pattern: <@weasel> if ! getent group "$REPRO_GROUP" >/dev/null; then <@weasel> addgroup --system "$REPRO_GROUP" || exit 1 <@weasel> fi <@weasel> the goal of --system is to a) not fail if the group exists and is a system group <@weasel> but also, to b) fail if the group exists and isn't a system group <@jcristau> ack <@weasel> since in that case we don't want to use that group as it might be for whoknowswhat. <@weasel> maybe this is something that should be brought to the attention of qa, release, or the developers at large. <@weasel> "guarding adduser calls considered harmful" <@jcristau> seems like something lintian could catch <@weasel> yup
Cheers, Julien
