Hi folks, Here's an update on the plan to import the NetBSD rc system into FreeBSD. I've contacted Luke Mewburn (the guy behind the new NetBSD rc system) and he's keen to chat to FreeBSD-heads after his talk at USENIX (FREENIX track). I can't make it, but I'd encourage interested parties from the FreeBSD community to chat to him. In fact, interested parties are encouraged to attend his talk. :-) After USENIX, the plan is that I'll get a hold of his slides and notes and will post a plan of action to freebsd-hackers, making sure that folks get a chance to see exactly how the new system is going to work. I'm not too interested in hearing a lot of whining from people who haven't given the NetBSD rc system a good look, because it's clear from the last couple of threads that many people are more than willing to post comments on something they haven't seen and such posts have contributed nothing. In short, the NetBSD rc system scores us startup depdendency management while preserving the monolithic rc.conf principle. This adds something to FreeBSD that's been missing too long, without taking away something that's widely acknowledged as a very good thing. Ciao, Sheldon.
