< Then why don't you use the Debian packaging and its init script? >
I wasn't aware such a package exists since there's no mention of it on the openvswitch site and I did search through apt-cache, but it seems the European mirrors I use don't have the package : root@debianovs:~# apt-get install openvswitch-switch Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package openvswitch-switch root@debianovs:~# apt-cache search "openvswicth" root@debianovs:~# So I naturally went to http://openvswitch.org/download/ and proceed with the .tar.gz download. Even if I agree that I should have found the package earlier, I still found illogical that the instructions doesn't explain how to set the services to start at bootup nor any link or direction on how to set this. I mean, I fully understand how it can be time-consuming writing and maintaining the documentation and that it's not always possible to write specialized instructions for all distributions , but what's the point having instructions to install it trough the tar.gz file (or git) it you don't obtain a fully functional server ? May I suggest that a mention saying "you should now set the module and the deamon to start at boot-up" and some clue on how to do this be added at the end of the linux.install instructions ? For example, if the startup script for ovsdb exists in the debian package, could it be added to the http://openvswitch.org/releases/openvswitch-1.7.0.tar.gz in the debian folder ? Anyway, thank for the tip, I'll use a US mirror to install the package, but it's still V1.4.2. Do you know if the init.d scripts for V1.4 works for V1.7 ?
