Primarily I am worried about the upgrade scenario and changing
groups
in a way that doesn't break previous versions of the packages.
Could you elaborate a bit on the issues?
So far my understanding is that "--with-tor-group" should not be
called
anymore during configure, so a patch would be to just remove
"--with-tor-group=%{torgroup}" from the rpm spec %configure line :-P
Yes, you could just remove that. But do you need to change the group
for all of
the people who already have a _tor group created upon upgrade?
Should you
delete the group from existing systems altogether? Is it as simple
as just
removing all of the other torgroup mentions from the .spec (and
there are quite
a lot of them)? Does it do the right thing when it gets installed
for a new
user as well?
I suspect for a new user it's fine. It's the transition part I don't
know about
(and realistically don't have enough time for to make sure I do a
very good
job with, which is why I'd prefer to ask someone who knows more
about it than I do).
Afaict the _tor group should still exist, and be the primary group for
the
_tor user. The only thing happening here is that the configuration
option
for tor to choose a specific group was removed.
This is analogous to what Debian does during install time.
