I don't see this as a concern because the size of the file is negligible compared to the tree. William signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That's the only downside I came up with, I don't really mind either way where it is. -- juippis signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

One (maybe not very strong) argument was that uid-gid.txt also documents historical assignments, which doesn't belong in the tree. Ulrich signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-dev] moving uid-gid.txt to metadata
All, as I recall I was one of the folks who suggested that uid-gid.txt should go in the api repository, but after thinking about it more and seeing it in practice, I see the error of my ways on this. ;-) Imo a better fit is the metadata directory in the ebuild repository. That way you can add users/groups along with the acct-* packages that install them. Thoughts? William signature.asc Description: Digital signature
