<p>This group is for discussion about the startup scripts in
FreeBSD, primarily the scripts in /etc/rc*. Primary focus
will be on improvements and importation of NetBSD's excellent
work on this topic.</p>
<-- from [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->
<p>Alright folks, I finally got off my butt last night and put
together a roadmap for the migration to the new rc.d init
scripts that were imported from NetBSD a long time ago and
just sat in the tree.</p>
<p>M1 (Patch included)<br>
Setup infrastructure<br>
Make rcorder compile<br>
Hook rc.subr into the distribution (and mergemaster)<br>
Hook rcorder into the world<br>
Add toggle in rc.conf to switch between rc_ng and current
boot scripts</p>
<p>M2<br>
Get FreeBSD to boot with the new boot scripts<br>
Rewrite the /etc/rc.d scripts to work with FreeBSD</p>
<p>M3<br>
Add some FreeBSD specific support into rc.subr</p>
<p>M4<br>
Add true dependency checking to the infrastructure so that
starting nfsd will start mountd and rpcbind<br>
Add support into rc.subr<br>
Add dependencies into rc.d scripts</p>
<p>I'd like a couple of people to take a look at this and then
I'll submit a pr for it if there aren't too many objections.
I'm expecting M2 to run into quite a bikeshed, but hey, I
got my nice shiny asbestos back from the cleaners.</p>
