I have just realized that maybe the best approach to address this problem would be not reverting the change in question, but making find_local_scripts_new() more strict, so that only those local rc.d scripts that have been explicitly marked by maintainer as fully rc.d-safe are handled in a new way. Checking for '^# PROVIDE:' doesn't really work reliably. -Maxim Maxim Sobolev wrote: > Hi guys, > > As part of testing how well some of our products work with latest > RELENG_6, I have make a new build and found that lot of important > services (for example PostgreSQL, Apache) doesn't start up (despite > having respective xxx_enable entries in /etc/rc.conf) when installed > from the freshly updated ports tree onto a clean, freshly updated > RELENG_6 system.
