[gentoo-dev] question about acct-user/vdr adding more ACCT_USER_GROUPS afterwards

Hallo,
In bug
https://bugs.gentoo.org/699846
is this ebuild for acct-user/vdr handling
this is needed for an update on
media-tv/gentoo-vdr-scripts
without user.eclass
this works fine with
ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( vdr video audio cdrom )
in this case.

I have another package this has to be converted
media-plugins/vdr-graphlcd-1.0.x
this needs the user vdr also in group lp and usb

For me it is unclear now, how could i add the user vdr also to groups
lp, usb afterwards

or should i change this in the initial acct-user/vdr ebuild
to
ACCT_USER_GROUPS=( vdr video audio cdrom lp usb )

Any hints are welcome...
before i commit any crap ;)

Cheers, joerg

Yes, right now the idea is that you list all of them in the original
ebuild.  If you really needed something like that, I'd suggest USE flag
to control extra groups in pkg_setup() or so but I don't think it's
worth the added complexity here.
