Introduce a few variables to allow easy overrides of common user account proprerties, that is:- ACCT_USER_<username>_SHELL - ACCT_USER_<username>_HOME - ACCT_USER_<username>_HOME_OWNER - ACCT_USER_<username>_HOME_PERMS - ACCT_USER_<username>_GROUPS - ACCT_USER_<username>_GROUPS_ADD The first five variables override the respective ACCT_USER_* variables, with ACCT_USER_*_GROUPS being a space-separated list. The *_GROUPS_ADD variable appends to groups present in the ebuild, as this seems a common necessity. We do realize that the original requirement of overriding ebuilds in a local repository was inconvenient. This new logic should permit easy updates via make.conf. Additionally, it has the advantage of clearly reporting the changes made in the build logs. This does not preclude other solutions to the problem. However, this is probably the best one and it should become the current recommendation.
This will improve the overlay situation and can be seen as overall improvement but it doesn't address any shared concerns nor is it a replacement for the proposed 'acct-user.eclass: don't modify existing user by default' patch.
