PLEASE, only _ONE_ mailing list. We wouldn't have freebsd-arch separate from freebsd-hackers if it didn't serve a different target area...

Kevin Way <kevin.way@overtone.org> had a prototype at that he mentioned in http://overtone.org/rc.d/ freebsd-hackers. Back in August he said that after some travel he would clean it up more and it would probably be in a state for beta testing. I guess he got a little delayed in that. Can you look at Kevin's work and see if you two could merge it into one prototype? > M1 (Patch included) > Setup infrastructure > Make rcorder compile I have sent patches to NetBSD to make rcorder compile properly. But I have not bothered to put the pressure on them needed until we had a working prototype -- so we could push back all of our changes at once. I also fail to see why this is "milestone 1". These things should be done as part of the patch + tarball that should be put up for prototype testing. > M2 > Get FreeBSD to boot with the new boot scripts > Rewrite the /etc/rc.d scripts to work with FreeBSD This is the hard part. :-( > M4 > Add true dependency checking to the infrastructure so that starting nfsd > will start mountd and rpcbind The dependency checking is part of /etc/rc.d/*.

Several people will download it and install it on their systems (including me). Once enough people have said there is basic working functionality, I'll commit it. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
