Has this been fixed with oe-core fc3a86ae68919cec72c1a8ae0f9ba1f98ae13f0d?

distcc problem seems fixed, definitely an improvement.
However, I still get 
WARNING: apt - apt: username _apt does not have a static ID defined.
WARNING: avahi - avahi-autoipd: username avahi-autoipd does not have a static ID defined.

(possibly some other problems). 

In a nutshell, this is what I want to do:

1. build an image, image creates etc/passwd etc/group
2. use these very same etc/passwd etc/group files as "templates" for static ids when building the same image the next time.

This should work without errors or warnings, n'est-ce pas?

Hi Juro,


Tried the build with similar setup and got the following error as mentioned here. Still, avahi recipe has the following line in avahi.inc. 

USERADD_PARAM_avahi-autoipd = "--system --home /run/avahi-autoipd \
                               --no-create-home --shell /bin/false \
                                --user-group \
                                -c \"Avahi autoip daemon\" \
                                avahi-autoipd"

We don't have a corresponding entry for "avahi-autopid" in the "reproducible-passwd" file. I think we should have that entry in the "reproducible-passwd" file as well. Please tell me if I missed any other details here.

So for me the problem is when having a workspace without staticids, and then adding it, etc/group and etc/passwd needs to be rebuilt from scratch. But nothing triggers that rebuild, I have fc3a86ae68919cec72c1a8ae0f9ba1f98ae13f0d also.

I think you need to trigger a rebuild with something like this:

diff --git a/meta/classes/useradd.bbclass b/meta/classes/useradd.bbclass
index 124becd082..0509ba0a82 100644
--- a/meta/classes/useradd.bbclass

Ok that fix didn't really work, but this does:

recipes-core/base-passwd/base-passwd_%.bbappend
do_prepare_recipe_sysroot[vardeps] += "USERADDEXTENSION"

My previous comment is also wrong, I still couldn't work around it.

To recap (please correct me if I'm wrong), the issue here is that when you switch between using not using static user/group ID and using them, the change is not correctly detected to cause the core passwd and group to be rebuilt.

It is unlikely that I'm going to be able to get around to this, so I'm going to make it unassigned.

https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=e70f491b7eb2df47be7f9fe919704b5e32b626e5 adds a test for this which passes so we're assuming this is resolved.
