Hello, Hi,
Well I think there shouldn't be anything broken if you would remove it, as we do reference everything by name everywhere. The reason for hard-coding it is that we have it on fedora and RHEL in the setup package See: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/setup.git/tree/uidgid It's something like a well-known UID/GID when specified there. Regards,
In the RPM and debian packaging for ovirt-guest-agent, the UID/GID numbers are hardcoded. I need to remove this to fix a policy violation in Debian. What are the implications of making the uid/gid's dynamically allocated, i.e. why were they hardcoded in the first place?
Thank you all, -- Cameron Norman
