CVS commit: src/usr.bin/xinstall



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   christos
Date:           Mon Jan 20 20:03:14 UTC 2025

Modified Files:
        src/usr.bin/xinstall: xinstall.c

Log Message:
>From FreeBSD via Ed Maste:

install's -o and -g flags both accept a name or a numeric argument.
In -U -M (non-root METALOG) mode it always emitted uname= and gname= in
the METALOG, but these are not appropriate for numeric IDs.

If the -o and/or -u arguments parse as an ID, emit uid= and/or gid=
respectively.

Note that if an argument is valid as both a name and numeric ID we will
prefer the name in normal (non -U -M) mode and the ID in -U -M mode.  We
don't want to require a passwd db in non-root mode, and entirely-numeric
user or group names are a terrible idea so just accept this discrepancy.
