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. -- Cyrille Lefevre mailto:clefevre@citeweb.net --ELM1003440599-5614-0_ Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/xml Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=report.xml Content-Description: report.xml Improving FreeBSD startup scripts Doug Barton Commiter DougB@FreeBSD.org Gordon Tetlow Contributor gordont@gnf.org Improving FreeBSD startup scripts Luke Mewburn's papers NetBSD Initialization and Services Control <-- from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeBSD-rc/ -->

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.

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.

M1 (Patch included)
Setup infrastructure
Make rcorder compile
Hook rc.subr into the distribution (and mergemaster)
Hook rcorder into the world
Add toggle in rc.conf to switch between rc_ng and current boot scripts

M2
Get FreeBSD to boot with the new boot scripts
Rewrite the /etc/rc.d scripts to work with FreeBSD

M3
Add some FreeBSD specific support into rc.subr

M4
Add true dependency checking to the infrastructure so that starting nfsd will start mountd and rpcbind
Add support into rc.subr
Add dependencies into rc.d scripts

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.
