[/run/ and] read-only root ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The /run/ idea is shelved, unless someone wants to take up the torch for it. Run-time state files moved out of /etc/ will have to go into /var/run/. The program, therefore, is:
1. Wherever possible, state files in /etc/ should be eliminated or moved to /var/run/. 2. If the latter cannot be done then programs should at least support the file being replaced by a symlink to a location outside of /etc/. There has been some progress on #1. For example, ioctl.save has ceased to be, and printcap.cups is now kept in /var/run/cups/ . Some files can be dealt with in way #2; for example, ifstate. A summary of progress to date be found in the README file at: http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/readonly-root.html resolvconf ~~~~~~~~~~ The resolvconf initiative is now being hosted on alioth. The name of the project is "update-resolv". http://alioth.debian.org/projects/update-resolv/ Interested parties are invited to subscribe to the "update-resolv-devel" mailing list and to examine the latest release of the resolvconf package. (The current release is 0.6.) -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
