Hi,
I've prepared a status report about this project. the xml file in
attachment have to be reviewed since I've just put descriptions
from FreeBSD-rc's Yahoo! Group and your email message.
first of all, there should be a consensus about the owner of
this project ? also, who create the FreeBSD-rc's Yahoo! Group ?
then you have to submit a status report to avoid duplicates
work...
I also done some stuffs on this some months ago, but I have
to review it. don't remember the status of my job... :(
Cyrille.

<p>This group is for discussion about the startup scripts in
FreeBSD, primarily the scripts in /etc/rc*. Primary focus
will be on improvements and importation of NetBSD's excellent
work on this topic.</p>
<-- from Pine.LNX.4.33.0110180824570.30874-200000@smtp.gnf.org -->
<p>Alright folks, I finally got off my butt last night and put
together a roadmap for the migration to the new rc.d init
scripts that were imported from NetBSD a long time ago and
just sat in the tree.</p>
<p>M1 (Patch included)<br>
Setup infrastructure<br>
Make rcorder compile<br>
Hook rc.subr into the distribution (and mergemaster)<br>
Hook rcorder into the world<br>
Add toggle in rc.conf to switch between rc_ng and current
boot scripts</p>
<p>M2<br>
Get FreeBSD to boot with the new boot scripts<br>
Rewrite the /etc/rc.d scripts to work with FreeBSD</p>
<p>M3<br>
Add some FreeBSD specific support into rc.subr</p>
<p>M4<br>
Add true dependency checking to the infrastructure so that
starting nfsd will start mountd and rpcbind<br>
Add support into rc.subr<br>
Add dependencies into rc.d scripts</p>
<p>I'd like a couple of people to take a look at this and then
I'll submit a pr for it if there aren't too many objections.
I'm expecting M2 to run into quite a bikeshed, but hey, I
got my nice shiny asbestos back from the cleaners.</p>
