Description Scott Garman 2011-06-10 15:36:18 UTC 
We really shouldn't use numeric group and user ids in meta/files/device_table-minimal.txt. Full usernames and groupnames should be used instead.

Associated code/classes which deal with this file need to be checked to ensure they also are not using hard-coded uid/gids.
Comment 1 Scott Garman 2012-03-21 17:30:24 UTC 
Moving to 1.3 milestone since this kind of change needs more testing than we can provide before 1.2 is released.
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2013-04-25 15:51:03 UTC 
This still needs fixing, Saul to find someone who can work on it.
