could you add a line pointing to the corresponding file in systemd's source
code (i.e the sysuser file from upstream)
that would help future reviewers

apart from that

Not sure if you meant to reply to patch #6 instead.

The main reference is the README, and the templates in sysusers.d.
You want me to add this as comment in the .mk file if I understood
correctly?

Also I am not sure why those users/groups aren't already in the systemd
skeleton.

Should I post just an amended Patch #5 or wait a while to redo the series
once I got feedback for the rest?

mkuser creating users by default if a Bug IMHO, the only non-system users
are those
that are explicitly defined.
Did not know journald acts differently based on UIDs btw.

I posted a patch to allow creating system users, but that would require
changing *every*
package adding users.

Agreed. I'm already working on that. Patch to follow soon

It's linked to the "per-user journal" feature. That feature is only active
for UID > 1000 (or wherever the system/human UID split is configured
but 1000 is the recommanded default and what buildroot uses)

I'm in the process of changing every package, it's just a tedious grep
work, but it needs to be done.

Well, I am glad if I dont have to do that with private patchwork one day,
no matter how we get there.

what about changing mkuser default -1 to system user, adding a new value
('-2' or 'u') for normal user?
That way you just need to patch the 1-2 spots where normal users are
generated.

There are no such spot that I could find at first glance in buildroot
itself, but that would break user packages...
so I don't think that's a good idea. It would fix more (harmless) bugs than
it would create, but the bugs
created would be more problematic than the bugs fixed....

Define what you mean with break - chances are, its not worse than all of
packages suddenly creating system users.

I meant that the lists from BR2_ROOTFS_USERS_TABLES are handled special and
create normal users (uid >= 0),
while all packages (buildroot or user packages) create system users with
uid=-1.

new packages could use 's' and 'u' instead, with -1 being somewhat
ambiguous then (potentially being deprecated one day).
