The branch main has been updated by michaelo: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=47a9af4b39bf174efed7f6d43644d4b0bc0c9886 commit 47a9af4b39bf174efed7f6d43644d4b0bc0c9886 Author: Aotian Cao <cat1890693@gmail.com> AuthorDate: 2026-04-08 07:58:00 +0000 Commit: Michael Osipov <michaelo@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-04-15 09:06:32 +0000 rc.d/NETWORKING: remove the NETWORK alias NETWORKING is the documented placeholder, while /etc/rc.d/NETWORKING still provides the legacy alias NETWORK. The NETWORKING script was originally introduced to avoid conflicts with NetBSD's lowercase network script on case-insensitive file systems. The NETWORK alias was retained for compatibility with older scripts. Following the discussion in PR 293652, remove the legacy NETWORK alias from 16-CURRENT. Keeping both names adds more confusion than value now that NETWORKING is the documented placeholder and current base system and ports tree uses are already clean. Add an UPDATING entry to note that local RC scripts using REQUIRE: NETWORK should be migrated to REQUIRE: NETWORKING.
