All, we have a pull request on OpenRC for a dependency checker [1].
The author of this patch believes that we should not only scan for circular deps, but break some of them automatically. I, and several other team members I have spoken with on IRC, disagree with this and think that we should just warn about the circular deps since users can break them by modifying files in /etc/conf.d, and the service script writers should be told about these kinds of issues so they can determine whether they neeed to adjust the dependencies in their scripts. I wanted to post a question here to see what people think, so feel free to comment. My opinion is the less automatic adjustment we do the better. Thanks, William [1] https://github.com/openrc/openrc/pull/12
