dh-sysuser (1.6.0) unstable; urgency=medium
Debian aims to standardize the declarative file format for system user
creation and for this purpose the systemd's sysusers.d(5) format was chosen.
As such dh_sysuser's native format is now considered legacy, is deprecated
and scheduled for removal after Trixie release.
To continue to use this package you should convert the dh_sysuser legacy
control file to the systemd-sysusers format; the following is equivalent to
dh-sysuser's default to create a 'username' system user:
#Type Name ID GECOS Home directory Shell
u username - "user description" /nonexistent
Another option is to use the more popular and established dh_installsysusers
addon from Debhelper package; you still need to convert to the control file
as showed above, but dh_sysuser package is no longer needed.
All sources where upstream installs a sysusers.d conf file should use dh_installsysusers
as this package is not able to act on those files.
Compared to dh_installsysusers, this package injects a different dependency
that plays nice with alternative init systems, non-linux ports or initless systems.
In future it may also add support for few corner cases that are not deemed relevant
enough for the Debhelper's dh_installsysusers addon.
Packages build with dh_sysuser will still work fine under systemd at the cost of
an additional dependency (sysuser-helper).
