<p>All new user/group accounts must be created via <a class="reference external" href="https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0081.html">GLEP 81</a> packages.
The existing packages should be migrated on the next version bump or
major update.</p>
<p>Existing and historical fixed UIDs/GIDs in range 0..499 (used
in baselayout or via user.eclass) as listed in uid-gid.txt can be reused
as-is in acct-* packages.</p>
<p>UIDs and GIDs in range 0..100 are reserved for important system
accounts. New assignments in that range need to be explicitly approved
by the QA lead, in response to a justified request from the developer.</p>
<p>The range 101..749 is provided for regular use by packages.
The assignments from this range follow the following rules:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>A developer can select an arbitrary free UID/GID from this range.
If in doubt, it is recommended to select successive numbers from 101
upwards.</p></li>
<li><p>Unless there is a very good reason not to, matching users and groups
should use the same number. It is acceptable to leave gaps
in assignments as a result of that.</p></li>
<li><p>Before pushing the new acct-* packages, the developer must push
an update to uid-gid.txt adding the ‘acct’ entry for the desired
UID/GID. This serves as a synchronization primitive to prevent
collisions.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Further UID/GID ranges will be open in the future as the need arises.</p>
<p><em>Rationale</em>: this is the second version of the policy for GLEP 81
packages. It simplifies the process to aid rapid adoption of the new
system. Review requirement and pointless cross-distro syncing were
removed, in favor of a simple process of allocating the next free number
and using it.</p>
<p>The ranges have been chosen to delay the imminent collision between
explicitly reserved UIDs / GIDs and the ones allocated dynamically by
user.eclass (starting from 999 downwards). The lowest GID range has
been reserved for true system users and groups.</p>
