Description Flags
patch for rtl-sdr.spec to create a system group instead of a user group none

Description Edgar Hoch 2017-01-31 16:20:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
Package rtl-sdr creates a group rtlsdr with GID in user range instead of system range:

# grep rtlsdr /etc/group
rtlsdr:x:1000:

But packages should create groups in the system GID range, because GIDs from 1000 are reserved for users. Add option "--system" to groupadd command in preinstall script would solve the problem (for new installations).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rtl-sdr-0.5.3-6.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install rtl-sdr
2. grep rtlsdr /etc/group

Actual results:
GID is 1000 or higher.

Expected results:
GID is less than 1000 (e.g. in the range from SYS_GID_MIN to SYS_GID_MAX)
