[gentoo-dev] New acct-* packages for media-sound/snapcast

Hi all,
I'd like to reserve 1 GID (462) and 2 UIDs (461 and 463) for new acct-*
packages needed with media-sound/snapcast.
I've submitted the packages as part of the following PR:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/17333

Thanks!

Hi,

this is not necessary anymore. You said in your PR you saw this is
required, where did you see it? It's outdated information. Please refer to

https://projects.gentoo.org/qa/policy-guide/user-group.html

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Proxied_Maintainer_FAQ#Adding_acct-.7Bgroup.2Cuser.7D.2Fpackages_as_a_proxied_maintainer

Also do note we try to go downwards from 500, so the next available
number seems to be 384, per,

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/api.git/tree/files/uid-gid.txt

although a next free one will be given to you during merge. 461-463 are
already taken.

I think I saw it on some older thread on the mailing list, can't
remember where exactly, I assumed later it's outdated but decided to
send the mail just in case.

Yeah, saw those pages in the meantime :)

Sure, I went through the list and picked first numbers from 500 that
were available, 416-463 seemed available, but I will change the numbers.
Thanks you!
