Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
I'm looking for a description of the currently available groups to determine whether to add a new group or use an existing one for a udev rule in a package in universe (wminput). I can't find any and mpt suggests they might not exist. Debian-policy mentions vaguely how numbers and groups correspond, but nothing seems to list the currently existing groups and what programs use them.
Changed in base-passwd (Ubuntu): | |
status: | Incomplete → Invalid |

This is documented here:
/usr/ share/doc/ base-passwd/ users-and- groups. html
(If ubuntu-docs wants to document this in any way that people are in danger of regarding as official :-), it should link to this rather than duplicating it. base-passwd is Essential so this document is always installed.)
