hi folks Quick question about milestone behaviour, specifically as it relates to a milestone's dependencies.
In looking at an issue with autofs and nameservices, I've been trying to understand how the name-services milestone behaves. The name-services milestone depends on the various specific name services (nis, nisplus, dns and ldap), each with an optional_all dependency. This form of dependency means that the service we depend on needs to be online or disabled for that dependency to be satisfied AFAIK. So, for example, the name-services milestone can be reached if no specific name services are enabled, or if one is and is online, etc. So far so good. What I'm confused about is that the milestone doesn't seem to notice when a service that it depends on later moves offline. If it were a normal service, this would trigger it to go offline I would have thought, but milestones don't seem to work that way. What's the reasoning here? Thanks! Alan
