Recently I found the reason for an old bug, which I could not trace down
for a long time:
the rc-script for freenet6 caused the trouble. Runnung rcoder (a tool
which was mentioned on a mailing-list) revealed a lot of 'circular
dependencies' which messed up the rc-system.
-----<snip>-----
#
# PROVIDE: freenet6
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING netif named
# BEFORE: ip6addrctl
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
-----<snip>-----
Deactivating 'BEFORE' solved the problem for me but the question arose:
how could this happen?
Porters Handbook chapter "6.23 Starting and stopping services (rc
scrips)" references rcoder but in chapter "6.23.2 Pre-Commit-Checklist"
containing many good proposals an explicit hint to run rcorder on an
included rc-file is missing.
Tinderbox misses this error as well and probably portlint too.
So here is my proposal:
add an item to the Pre-Commit-Checklist to run rcorder, modify portlint
and/or tinderbox to check rc-files.
I will file a bugreport for freenet6, what about the rest?
Thanks
Andreas
