It's missing the defaults/rc.conf diffs, but you should already know
those.

I have a new patch (to 7-CURRENT) of the "fancy_rc" updates.
This allows the use of:
rc_fancy="YES" ---> Turns on fancy reporting (w/o color)
rc_fancy_color="YES" ---> Turns on fancy reporting (w/ color), needs
rc_fancy="YES"
rc_fancy_colour="YES" ---> Same as above for you on the other side of
the pond.
rc_fancy_verbose="YES" --> Turn on more verbose activity messages.
This will cause what appear to be "false
positives", where an unused service is
"OK" instead of "SKIP".
You can also customize the colors, the widths of the message
brackets (e.g. [ OK ] vs. [ OK ]), the screen width, and
the contents of the message (OK versus GOOD versus BUENO).
Also, we have the following message combinations:
OK ---> Universal good message
SKIP,SKIPPED ---> Two methods for conveying the same idea?
ERROR,FAILED ---> Ditto above, for failure cases
Should we just have 3 different messages, rather than 5 messages
in 3 categories?
Yes, that's something that started with my first patch, and never got
ironed out. I think it should be:
OK
SKIPPED
FAILED
and possibly also:
ERROR
The difference between FAILED and ERROR would be that FAILED means the
service did not start at all, and ERROR means it started but had some
kind of error response.
FAILED vs ERROR seems confusing. I'd be inclined toward WARNING vs
FAILED or ERROR.
True, however I still see a difference between FAILED and WARNING. For
instance, as an example: a FAILED RAID is different than a RAID with a
WARNING.
