[gentoo-dev] /etc/conf.d/net

[Chad M. Huneycutt]

Is there a reason someone went through all the trouble of hacking
runscript.sh use /etc/conf.d/net for the net.* scripts and /etc/conf.d/foo
for all other scripts foo.  It seems just as logical (and easier) to just
use /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 for /etc/init.d/net.eth0

Just something I came across while I was scouring the init scripts.

I am going to see if I can better integrate pcmcia network script with our
startup scripts (or at least configuration).

It's just easier to specify all your network interfaces in a single file
rather than having to edit several.

Very true.  I was hoping Gentoo would be following the BSD philosophy of
having most of configuration in one file (e.g. /etc/rc.conf). :(
So far it's my only beef with Gentoo. ;^)

Don't read everything you believe.

Your signature speaks for itself? :-)

Thing about Gentoo (which I love), is it is very flexible.

In this case I am sure you will be delighted to know that you
can do:

# cd /etc/conf.d
# cat * > basic

---- OR ----

# cd /etc/conf.d
# cat * > /etc/rc.conf

Breaking things up, just generally helps with the packaging,
but you can still only use /etc/rc.conf, or /etc/conf.d/basic
for any of your rc-script config needs.
