Description Ben Kircher 2021-09-02 06:16:08 UTC 
Kindly asking to add sysusers_create_compat macro from Fedora as per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging#Scriptlets to EPEL 8.

It's defined in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.sysusers and /usr/lib/rpm/sysusers.generate-pre.sh from systemd-rpm-macros package.

dnsmasq and others make use of %sysusers_create_compat macro in pre-inst scriptlets. So it would be super helpful when packaging them in el8 context.

Found this PR against packaging-committee docs: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/981 but nothing really indicates that somebody was working on porting this to EPEL.

May I ask for the current status? Similar like the bug reporter I would like to simplify my existing packages for EPEL 7 and 8.
