FWIW, the CoreOS folks are using uzers
in their projects - https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acoreos%20uzers&type=code
Not sure how they are handling the lack of a Fedora package (probably vendoring?), but wanted to mention it.
They are vendoring, we can add extra packages, we just need to be cognizant of the extra work, I would sooner go to something that had a healthy upstream and have to package it rather than move to something that doesn't and have other issues.
...I would sooner go to something that had a healthy upstream...
Based on the "Insights" from GH on uzers
and sysinfo
, it does look like sysinfo
is more active...so feels like it is the better choice on that metric.
The
users
crate that we currently use in our integration tests is unmaintained and security patches are not being applied. Ditch that crate in favour of sysinfo.There is a direct fork of
users
called uzers, but that crate is not packaged in Fedora, andsysinfo
is, so the change seems easier this way.
