This will leave acct-{user,group}/slurm without reverse dependencies.
Last-rite them, too?

Aren't we still stuck on what to do with [1]?

FWIW, I am not sure why we should keep the unused acct-{user,group} 
packages. At least I don't see how removing them would cause any issues 
or confusion? The bug appears to be light on arguments in favor of 
keeping them. Quite contrary, I think keeping them could cause some 
confusion, as users may start looking for the according actual package 
and hope to find it.

But maybe I am missing something?

Needless to say that I am only talking about the acct-{user,group} 
packages, the uid-gid.txt reservation should stay for obvious reasons. 
And this also rules out that the IDs are re-assigned.

Oh! That's a pity! I need that package...

Is there anything I can do to keep using slurm with my gentoo box?

Is there any chance you'd be willing to adopt it?

That would be great! Thank you for the link.

It's my first time, so what comes next? Should I try to fix the bugs?

Exactly! Ideally do a GitHub PR adopting the package and fixing bugs in the process (it's
ok not to fix them all at once, just do a bump if one exists, and try to start fixing them).

I just added an updated ebuild in my junkdrawer overlay. I would be 
willing to proxy maintain the package in gentoo.

Hi,

I think it makes sense. I still have no experience proxy maintaining and 
if you do...

Still, I'll have a look at some of the open bugs during the next week, 
hopefully.
