[Solved] proper name for shipped sysusers & tmpfiles

I've been poking around and found this reversion:

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ca65549883

I'm curious as to what "reuse complian[ce]" is? Additionally, are there guidelines published somewhere on what the packaged names of included files should be? I haven't found anything regarding the sysusers or tmpfiles.

edit: spelling

I'm curious as to what "reuse complian[ce]" is?

The official site is https://reuse.software/ and compliance can be check with `reuse lint` provided by reuse.

Additionally, are there guidelines published somewhere on what the packaged names of included files should be? I haven't found anything regarding the sysusers or tmpfiles.

The default `REUSE.toml` for a PKGBUILD as provided by `pkgctl license setup` includes:

    "*.sysusers",
    "*.tmpfiles",

I do not know of any official guidelines.

I've not used license setup. This is good to know. Thanks!
