Package: postgrey
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
I was doing some Q&A on Debian system users. postgrey's postinst script
has a syntax like:
> getent passwd postgrey > /dev/null || adduser
With this syntax, it is much more difficult to extract the list of user
accounts created by the pacakges.
I wish you could a simpler syntax, like:
> if ! getent passwd postgrey > /dev/null ; then
> adduser ...
> fi
It really is priority wish list, feel free to close the bug if you
"wont-fix".
Thanks,
Franklin
