The default behavior of the OpenEmbedded build system for assigning
<filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename> values when
packages add users and groups during package install time is to

This works fine for programs that do not care what the values of the
resulting users and groups become.
In these cases, the order of the installation determines the final

If non-deterministic
However, if non-deterministic
<filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename> values are a
problem, you can override the default, dynamic application of these
values by setting static values.
When you set static values, the OpenEmbedded build system looks in
<link linkend='var-BBPATH'><filename>BBPATH</filename></link> for
<filename>files/passwd</filename> and <filename>files/group</filename>
files for the values.

To use static <filename>uid</filename> and <filename>gid</filename>
values, you need to set some variables.
