Hmmm.. how about getting the actual knobs committed and worry about the dependancy stuff later? :) The problem with this stuff seems to be that everyone gets stuck on the 'ooh, the dependancy stuff will suck' while not realising that 80% of the time it won't be needed.. Perhaps we could also start making the files written into $PREFIX/etc/rc.d follow this standard as a start, and then do the /etc/rc* stuff. Just my $0.02 of course. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
