Hi everyone,
I know that is my third time requesting a uid/gid for stunnel, but it
seems that my previous request was already taken but not added to the
uid-gid.txt file, so I didn't know about the collision.
Speaking with mgorny on #gentoo-dev, he suggested that we start simply
making a request, and he'll assign the highest free value(s) at the time.
So @mgorny, can i please have a UID and GID pair for stunnel.
Thanks!

You misunderstood me.
I meant that if you don't care about the specific number, you just make
a request saying you'll take the highest free UID/GID pair at the time
(that said, please try to use matching UID/GID for convenience's sake).
That is, unless you want to take a specific lower number.
Since there's no point in waiting again, just look at uid-gid.txt, find
highest free UID/GID, verify that nobody else used or requested it.
Then commit it, and make sure to update uid-gid.txt.

Okay so when you said "i'll take highest free at the time" you meant
that's what the requester would say. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Okay, I'm requesting UID/GID = 492/492. I'm committing in a sec.

That's the ID used by arch for oprofile, so it's a bad choice.

I give up! How am I supposed to know what to choose if it isn't
requested in the uid-git.txt file?

Because I had pointed it out here:
https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/48d2696dc2f58d04f97de235f83cdac2

Anyway, stunnel is 341 now, and 492 is (provisionally) reserved
for oprofile.
