Handling of users in multiple recipes.

Handling of users in multiple recipes.

I have a user that is added in a recipe using inherit useradd.
Previously in Morty I was able to include that recipe as a dependency to other recipes and chown files to that user during do_install.
In checking at master in prep for 2.3 I noticed those recipes no longer work stating the user is invalid.

Is there a new mechanism in place to handle this use case or am I going to have to find some sort of other work around?

Thanks,
Mike

A patch for this issue was added yesterday to oe-core.  I'm not sure if it has
been merged to master, but should be soon if it has not already been.

Search the list archives for "base-passwd/useradd: Various improvements to
useradd with RSS".

Right, in the other hand, the scenario  you are indicating is basically
the same as described in bug 7724
(https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7724)

and confirmed that the patch worked.
