$ egrep '^(nobody|sshd):' /etc/passwd 
nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/var/nobody:/dev/null
sshd:x:109:117::/var/empty:/dev/null

(it's ALT Linux, Owl GNU/*/Linux does probably the same)

Just don't be afraid to commit - there will be always someone, who
will correct you - nothing wrong with that (just ignore rudeness, which
may happen when someone has bad day ;). You may ask on the list
or irc if not sure about some stuff.

Thanks for the links to relevant current developer documentation. I'll
keep an eye on those guidelines.

I have to say that even having been an avid PLD user for 10+ years the
lack of clear easy to find documentation (and the amount of outdated,
irrelevant and contradictory documentation floating around in dozens
of locations) is making me dizzy.

I have subscribed to the cvs commit list and will try to keep up with
what's current that way.

it is explained in here:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PLD-doc/HACKING

also you mind find this useful:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PLD-doc/BuildRequires.txt

and these two (depending on your language preference)
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PLD-doc/devel-hints-en.txt
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/PLD-doc/devel-hints-pl.txt

however, these may not be exactly up to date, most of the knowledge comes imho 
via monitoring of spec commits.

and when creating new .specs, there are somewhat useful templates:

Re: new spec (lyricue)

2010-03-29 Thread Caleb Maclennan
Should I give a holler here or directly to somebody when I have a
commit or will things been seen and reviewed?

Question about log messages. I noticed after I committed a bump to the
version of hugin last night that most log messages for spec file
commits start with a leading dash. Does this have a special meaning or
is it just convention that I should follow or did I fail in some other
way?

I'm working on that lyricue spec i started with three years ago, but
it needs some upgrading now seeing that it's a few versions old!
