I just thought of a way to apply something done in the dev cell to the
sipb cell without requiring s:a bits.
I'm decomissioning system:netbsd-releng. In its place is a prefixless
group netbsd-releng (containing ghudson.root, jhawk.root, and
yoav.root) and a group netbsd-releng:packs, empty.
netbsd-releng:packs will have "all" permission on the packs.
To update the packs, get root tokens and add yourself to the group:
pts adduser <me>.root -group netbsd-releng:packs -c sipb
aklog -force sipb
Now you can update any directory on the packs with your root tokens.
When you're done, remove yourself from the group:
pts removeuser <me>.root -group netbsd-releng:packs -c sipb
aklog -force sipb
There will be a similar group netbsd-releng:locker for
/mit/netbsd/release.
The dev cell does more or less the same thing for the packs, but with
system:packs, so you need s:a permission to add or remove people from
the group.
