For the Now part, yes. For the Then part, the important factor is whether
the system is past the local_startup MFC or not. If not, then we always want
to install as name.sh, otherwise the script won't run. If so, then we want
to install as just name. There is also the factor of how to deal with a port
that has a legitimate need to install as name.sh in the post MFC world,
which would mean (after all the ports are fixed) that its boot script gets
sourced into the rc environment, rather than run in a subshell. I'd organize
Then like this:
Pre-MFC system:
USE_RC_SUBR= * --> name.sh
Post-MFC system:
USE_RC_SUBR= name.in --> name (this will be the common case)
USE_RC_SUBR= name.sh.in --> name.sh
Make sense?
