Howdy, Per discussion in freebsd-rc@, I have removed set_rcvar() from rc.subr. The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones. I have no plans to MFC this change, so it should only affect users who are actually on 10-current. If you have scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (which if you have ports installed you almost certainly do) ... to make the change by hand, change this: name=foo rcvar=`set_rcvar` to: name=foo rcvar=foo_enable I didn't bump PORTREVISIONs because the change only applies to HEAD. But all of the ports are updated, so if you can't figure out how to make the change, just reinstall it.
