The whole thing is moot anyway as baselayout-2 now uses C plugins for

Hi List!
dhcpcd-3.1 is making good progress and is almost ready to be put into
the tree. One of it's new features is that it generates a DUID-LLT.
This has to be stored in non volatile storage, so it persists across
reboots. I would like a nice USE flag name, so it can be compiled with

bsaelayout-2.0.0_alpha2 will ship without any volume support for things

need for using bash. You'll be pleased to know that it's working well

work with bash-3.1 for some reason though, as I prefer
== over =~ myself.

Good, but you fail due to only matching 3 lines

$'wombat'
Maybe you meant to write
[[ $'\n'wombat =~ wombat ]]
That will still return true
[[ wombat =~ $'\n'wombat ]]
Will return false, which is what we want as wombat isn't at the start of the
line.
In my example, I'm trying to match something at t

Needs to be regex so I can match $'\n' as iirc you loose that in globbing

Attached is the patch that does
n out of space, but I've yet to see my 1meg svcdir on BSD go over 13%
usage.
So does this make everyone happy?
Thoughts?

And yes, the BSD's will use the full 2MB.
Actually I forgot about the option allowing you todo this. It will be
supported in the next version, although the variable name specified
in /etc/conf.d/rc will change to match out existing RC_ names, the old one

, you then have to guarantee that /var is always available too and that
may not always be the case as some people want to have /var net mounted or
something equally silly :)
/lib may be ugly, but it's also guaranteed which is what I'm more interested

we tar up our state
dir, unmount it and untar it back (taking good care with locking due to
parallel starts and event driven services).
Admittedly, an always ro / isn't handled right now, but I'll ensure it will be
for the next release :)

Or we could just slap a very large warning on it.
Ideas are welcome :)
