            Bug ID: 196389
           Summary: [install] [makefs] when populating METALOG with
                    symlink information, no default user/group is
                    populated
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: adrian at freebsd.org

When doing a non-root user build, install gets run to populate symlinks.

The build is calling INSTALL_SYMLINK to do the dirty work.

This doesn't provide user/group information, so the entry in METALOG looks like
this:

./sys type=link mode=0755 link=usr/src/sys

.. and makefs then populates it as the user in question from the filesystem,
and you end up with this in the image:

root at raspberry-pi:~ # ls -l /sys
lrwxr-xr-x  1 adrian  adrian  11 Dec 29 01:59 /sys -> usr/src/sys

(I added adrian:adrian to the raspberry pi image later, so the user/group
resolves to the name. But it'll show up as 1001:1001 normally as that's my
uid/gid.)
