This is an FYI. If you have any concerns I suggest you follow up on -ports. Doug -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Is there any reason to keep sysutils/rc_subr? I'm wondering if there is any reason to keep sysutils/rc_subr around? In bsd.port.mk the default sub for %%RC_SUBR%% is already /etc/rc.subr, and all supported platforms have always had that file. After the release of 8.0 I'd like to do the following: 1. Deprecate sysutils/rc_subr 2. Update all ports rc.d scripts that currently use %%RC_SUBR%% to use /etc/rc.subr instead. 3. Simplify any ports Makefiles that depend on sysutils/rc_subr 4. Simplify bsd.port.mk I also think it would be reasonable to update the Handbook section on ports rc.d scripts to use /etc/rc.subr now. Any objections? Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
