I found more easy in the future to know which users must be removed by
marking their account as D in the database.
So once sv_user will be running on Savannah (not for today), to remove
a user you'll just have to mark is account as D. If you remove it by
yourself directly the database for instance with
mysql -e "DELETE FROM user WHERE user_name='popol'" sourceforge
the account will be left, considered as a local (not managed by
savannah) account. So if a user need to be removed, it's BAD.
Instead, I'll provide a script like sv_user_delete if you need to
delete a user in a hurry, that cannot wait a cronjob. But that will do
everything needed.
Any objection?
Why this choice? Because I found on my test machine (which his my
main computer) that I'm not happy at all with the idea that savannah
may remove a user account just because a script failed to detect it's
not part of savannah. Removing an account only with a D mark in the
database is completely safe. Account removal is anyway extremely rare,
so I prefer simplifying the code, to avoid any errors, to get
something doing what we want anyway.
