[yocto] Recommended practice to live together hardcoded Linux GIDs with dynamic GIDs

[Javier Tiá]

Hi,

On a random manner, these errors appear:

     ERROR: do_install: groupadd command did not succeed
     ERROR: do_install: Function failed: useradd_sysroot

It's hard to reproduce. Tried several times to reproduce the error with 
`bitbake -c install <RECIPE>` and `bitbake -C install <RECIPE>`. It is 
the only information we have from the build logs. Sounds like a race 
condition.

The recipe is creating several hardcoded Linux groups (GID) with useradd 
class.

In this thread [1] from 2014, there is a practice to the limitation of 
users/groups creation dependency.

Is there to this date a better practice to make work together the Linux 
hardcoded GIDs with the dynamic GID?

Should be all the GIDs be created dynamically?

Poky 2.1 is being used.


Thanks,
