--- Comment #23 from Miroslav Lachman <000.fbsd@quip.cz> ---
(In reply to Warner Losh from comment #22)
I think it turns in to bikeshed now. Are we talking about rc.conf variables=
 to
configure jails or about this as dependency for ezjail?

No matter if you have 1 or 5 or 20 jails. The configuration in jail.conf is=
 as
simple as in rc.conf, maybe even easier and more flexible.

## rc.conf style
jail_enable=3D"YES"
jail_list=3D"alpha"

jail_exec_start=3D"/bin/sh /etc/rc"
jail_exec_stop=3D"/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown"
jail_devfs_enable=3D"YES"
jail_devfs_ruleset=3D"devfsrules_jail"
jail_flags=3D"-l -U root"

jail_alpha_rootdir=3D"/vol0/jail/alpha"
jail_alpha_hostname=3D"alpha.example.com"
jail_alpha_ip=3D"10.11.12.13"


## jail.conf style
exec.start =3D "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
exec.stop  =3D "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
exec.clean;
mount.devfs;
devfs_ruleset  =3D 4;
exec.jail_user =3D "root";

path            =3D "/vol0/jail/$name";
exec.consolelog =3D "/var/log/jail/$name.console";
mount.fstab     =3D "/etc/fstab.$name";

# A typical jail.
alpha {
        host.hostname =3D "alpha.example.com";
        ip4.addr =3D 10.11.12.13;
}


But if we are talking about jails management utility, then we have none in =
base
but a lot in ports / packages that does not depend on rc.conf style.

We migrated all our jails on all machines from rc.conf to jail.conf the fir=
st
time I have seen the warning after machine upgrade. It was really easy.=20

I agree removing some feature on dot release can be a problem but I really
don't understand why we should maintain two different styles for configuring
jails in base.
