Hi List Whilst working on a new C program to work out init script dependencies (99% done and working and very very fast) it suddenly struct me as to why we still have RC_STRICT_NET_CHECKING (see conf.d/rc for what it does).
baselayout-1.13 now handles multiple provides. That means that you have can 3 or more services that provide "logger" and baselayout will pick the right one based on what's running, then what's run the runlevel and finally alphabetical order. As such, our net scripts all provide "net". Handy that. RC_STRICT_NET_CHECKING is used in the init script depdency process, and quite frankly I'd like to punt it and replace it with ........... rc-update! Yes, just put the init scripts that "net" should provide in your runlevel. boot contains net.lo by default and we also coldplug any net devices by default too. So can anyone think of any reasons why I cannot punt it? Thanks -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo/Linux Developer (baselayout, networking) -- [email protected] mailing list
