Careful. As pointed out to me by Bruce Evans, rc.serial is _not_ the same as the other files. It was obtained elsewhere and is implicitly self-contained. While you may want to change that, this is not part of Doug's nor my nor Jordan's goal with what we're doing now. If it's something that can and should be done, it can and should be done later. > BTW: please make the rc* files be self contained (where it makes > sense) so that they can be called outside of rc. Each file should > include rc.conf for itself Again, I'm sure your diffs will make for an interesting read, but that's a job for another day. Let's stick to the issue of reviewing Doug's trajectory, given what he's aiming at. Now's not the time to change his target. Ciao, Sheldon.
