yes, it's finally that time ... after months of hearing us say 'we want to get 
new baselayout stable asap', we're serious

so can people please try out baselayout-1.11.12-r2+ and see if they notice any 
regressions ?  the 'best' tests are simply rebooting and seeing if your 
system comes up :)

common gotchas:
- many config options have moved from /etc/rc.conf into /etc/conf.d/ files
- /etc/hostname and /etc/*domainname have been moved into /etc/conf.d/ files
- the net scripts have been completely rewritten thanks to UberLord ... old 
config styles should work fine, but it's best if you update 
your /etc/conf.d/net syntax ... just review /etc/conf.d/net.example or this 
URL: http://dev.gentoo.org/~uberlord/net-book/

somethings to note ...
regressions with lvm/lvm2/evms will not be considered ... they have had all 
their code forked into the respective packages and thus are no longer part of 
baselayout ... bugs with those packages should be taken up with their 
respective maintainers

Hi,
Using mostly stable system with some (baselayout incl.) testing packages.
Migration went OK, except for a warning about missing /etc/init.d/serial.
See commented entries for serial in my /etc/inittab file, will check.
Otherwise it all works.

I just tested with a LVM system and it worked like it should be.

I have one problem. When i boot my laptop with no network card connected,
the boot process hangs until the dhcp client(dhcpcd) times out. This was not
the case with the older version of baselayout. 

And this is not nice! :-)

Try to uncomment preup() function for /etc/conf.d/net. Link detection
was not very reliable in my case, but it might be just because I'm using
software suspend.

software suspend works perfectly with this. The problem is more likely to be 
that your card is not supported by either ethtool or mii-tool, though that in 
itself is unlikely as almost every NIC I am aware is supported by one or the 
other.

I've been running baselayout-1.11.12+ since it went ~amd64.  It has been
very smooth going, far more so than previous versions, where net,
specifically macchanger, wasn't working right without module script
tweaking (that was bugged and eventually fixed).

Hmm..  I /did/ have issues with parallel startup a couple revisions back. 
I had disabled that and haven't reenabled it yet.  I suppose I should do
that and bug it now, if it still fails.  It /was/ working at one point.

Does it support wireless devices that don't support essid scanning yet?

I'm currently having to use baselayout-1.10.4 (which was removed from portage
ages ago) as my BCM4306 802.11b/g chip (used via ndiswrapper) doesn't support
essid scanning.

works perfectly here. good work. I like the new network setup.

It should do. Basically if your card does not support scanning then you
have a few choices

1) Hard code the ESSID - this only works when you only use one AP
2) Hard code a list of ESSID's - this works fine as long as you only use
the AP's in the list. However, it's slow as it attempts to connect to
each in the specified order.
3) Use the ESSID "ANY" - this forces the driver to associate with an AP
that it chooses - you have no control over which one it selects.

If not, pester me in IRC so I can fix it.

There may still be issues with parallel startup. It doesn't really
startup in parallel and it's not much faster, so if any bugs do come up
then we'll probably recommend turning it off.

baselayout-1.12.0-alpha3 will have much improved parallel startup thanks
to Paul Pacheco patch (bug #69854) which is essentially a re-write of
the code so we're not that interested in fixing parallel startup in
baselayout-1.11.x at this time.

Working great here on ~x86, aside from the initial oops with 1.11.12-r0 
causing X to bomb from the /dev issue.  The other changes have been nice.

search bugzilla, this has come up ... i think it's because of some init script 
you have in the boot runlevel when it should be in the default runlevel ...

Ahh; what fun - that was the stuff I'd tweaked the most :/
The new network stuff is much better, but I do have one hiccough.

I'm trying it on a laptop that connects to various different networks depending on the weather.  I figured this would be a useful test as it's a less common configuration.  It connects mostly via different docking stations.  I use udev to rename ethernet devices according to MAC address (the ethernet devices are in the docking stations).  Hotplug then runs the appropriately named network script via net.agent to start the service.  Critically, the various net.* scripts are therefore -not- in any runlevel.

This hotplugging of the network devices all kicks off early on - well before the boot level has finished.  The new /sbin/runscript.sh simply drops the addition of the network device if the boot level hasn't finished - leaving me with no network (or at least, a network that has to be started manually).  For now, I've commented out the check in /sbin/runscript.sh, and it all works ok.  I don't know what this will break; obviously the check wasn't added just for laughs!


On a somewhat related matter, I have bluetooth stuff installed, which is also started by hotplug/pcmcia.  In order to prevent it being stopped by changing runlevels, I've made a softlink to net.bluetooth and started that in my hotplug config instead of 'bluetooth'.  Bit of a hack, relying on the fact /sbin/rc does not automatically stop anything that begins with "net.".  Is there a tidier way to prevent /sbin/rc from messing with services started & stopped via hotplug?

emerge ifplugd and get that to monitor your interfaces. It will bring
them up/down when a cable is inserted/removed.
You'll probably have to tell it to not fail if the interfaces don't
exist as you're using udev to rename them.

A better solution would be to allow configuration via MAC address, which
we may put into baselayout-1.12.0

Try experimenting with the RC_STRICT_NET_CHECKING in /etc/conf.d/rc

if that fails, look at Bug 91534

if that fails, remove net.eth* from boot runlevel

Since DHCP is assumed by default if there is no configuration, how does
one disable DHCP easily *without* specifying an IP address?

I'm asking because I will need to modify the livecd-tools scripts to
take into account a way to disable DHCP when either "nodhcp" or
"nodetect" are passed to the release media.

OK... nevermind... I just figured out that I need to:

echo 'config_eth0=( "null" )' >> /etc/conf.d/net

to disable DHCP.

speaking of livecd updates, someone pointed out on a bug that we shouldnt need 
to check CDBOOT anymore in the volume addon code (lvm/lvm2/evms/raid/etc) ... 
the livecd should set RC_VOLUME_ORDER to "" ... maybe we can do this in the 
ebuild ?

What ebuild?  baselayout?

Where would the livecd set RC_VOLUME_ORDER?  Why should it?

Sorry if I'm not up on this stuff, but this is the first I've heard of
any of this.

yes, when USE=livecd

> Where would the livecd set RC_VOLUME_ORDER?

it would reset $S/etc/conf.d/rc

> Why should it? 

instead of having to do [[ -z ${CDBOOT} ]] all the time ... the lvm/emvs/raid 
have been removed from baselayout and placed into sep addon modules ... but 
only modules listed in RC_VOLUME_ORDER will be automagically sourced by 
baselayout at boot

so instead of checking $CDBOOT in all the modules, we could just have the 
livecd say 'dont check volume addon modules'

Thanks for the suggestions.  I didn't want to go the ifplugd route as the interfaces don't appear/disappear while the system is running.  I've thought a bit about this, and it occurs to me that what I really want is for the hotplug-initiated scripts that runscript.sh doesn't want to do at boot, deferred to default (rather than just dropped).

I've implemented this in a simple fashion:

with the following in /etc/init.d/deferred:

'rc-update add deferred default' ensures the deferred startups happen when the default runlevel is entered, and are not done if the kernel parameters indicate startup shouldn't continue past the boot runlevel.  Continuing manually to the default level catches the deferred startups automatically.

The 'deferred' script above doesn't deal with runscript options (--quiet etc), and it may be better to do the 'rm ${svcdir}/deferred' somehwere else, but it illustrates the idea.

My problem here (such that it is) is that the only way for a service to survive a runtime level transition, if it is started by hotplug, is to call it 'net.<something>'.  Deferring it (as above) solves the transition problem. Of course, it might be worth having a "not-at-boot" indication feature for init scripts, rather than having them named net.<something> :)

OK, cool!  Gives me an excuse to not worry about it for a bit longer.  <g>
(I had found pretty much exactly what you mentioned, that it wasn't much
faster anyway, the reason I hadn't squawked when it failed and I had to
turn it off.)

That's good, since I read I have new KDE to worry about next week, and
I've a couple things to trace b4 then (unsermake doesn't seem to be
engaging, here, for some reason, and it'd be real nice if I could figure
out how to get the old configcache patch working (locally, anyway) again
with the split sandbox, since the portage upgrade with that integrated
doesn't seem to be on the immediate horizon.)

Where would the livecd say this?

Also, what if we *want* the livecd to check the volume addon modules?

That had nothing to do with the init scripts, so these changes would no
affect that in any way.  All of the no* commands affect things that are
specific to the livecd.

Not My Problem ?  the volume code has *always* been disabled in baselayout for 
livecds, nothing is changing ... plus, the startup code is for people who 
have configured crap already ... you dont exactly have config files on a 
livecd for your volumes :p

OK... except we don't remerge baselayout anymore... it could be done, of
course...

Makes sense to me... I guess this doesn't have anything to do with the
volume scanning done on the livecd... I really don't understand what any
of the lvm/evms junk does anyway... and I'm sure you understand it much
better than I do, so I'll take your word for it... and if something
breaks, I know where to send the bugs... *grin*

I have just migrated to baselayout-1.11.12-r4 and everything went
smoothly. Arch x86 with some ~x86 application.

It won't.  We're turning off all of the volume management in the initrd
by default.  This means all of them (dmraid, evms, lvm2) will be
available, but not enabled.  You will be required to do* if you want
them on, since they caused problems for some people, much as how doscsi
is not enabled by default.

I'm also working on making a nice little document of all the do* no*
commands available on the releases, so troubleshooting should be a bit
easier for us all.

I've been running the 1.11.x series since .8 with no problems (except the
parallel thing that was mentioned before).  Good work!  

I just wanted to share some of the coolness of the new scripts:

Let's say you have a wireless network that uses BlueSocket login.  It's rather
annoying to have to load a web browser before you can start using the
connection.  I wrote a little perl script to submit the form and call it from
postup().  (Email me if you want the script.)

A second bit of logic I added to postup() was to merge the settings from my
wireless card into the bonding interface.  This works as follows: 

    local ESSID=$( wireless_get_essid eth1 )
    if [ "${IFACE}" == "bond0" ] ; then
        echo "ESSID: $ESSID" 
        if [ -z "$(eval echo \${config_${ESSID}})" ] || 
           [ "$(eval echo \${config_${ESSID}})" == "dhcp" ] ; then
            dhcpcd -t 5 bond0
        else
            echo $(eval echo "\${config_${ESSID}}")
            ifconfig ${IFACE} $(eval echo "\${config_${ESSID}}")
            (route -n | grep -q "^0.0.0.0") && route del default
            route add $(eval echo "\${routes_${ESSID}}")
        fi
    fi

Note that I also have these lines for the bond0 interface:
slaves_bond0="eth0 eth1"
config_bond0=( "null" ) # I'll configure this later

The astute reader will notice that I got a little lazy and didn't use the
dhcpcd_xxx variables for that condition, but that wouldn't be too hard to hack
in there.

The end result of this is I can seemlessly go back and forth between the wired
and wireless worlds without losing network connections.  It's great to be on
wireless, start a download, plug into the wired, and then get an immediate speed
boost!

Here's another hint for wireless users:  Test your card's ability to respond to
iwconfig <card> txpower <val> commands.  Then put whatever the max value is into
the /etc/conf.d/wireless preassociate() function.  This should have a noticable
effect on your ability to connect to networks.

Thanks for making this all this possible!

--Kevin

with wireless.

The comments back from gentoo-user have been that it works fine.  One
was a glowing endorsement of all the changes.
