Subject: [gentoo-dev] rfc: OpenRC network provides revisited
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:10:10 -0500	[thread overview]

All,

bugs like this one [1] are making me question the net/lo provides again,
and I want to know what everyone thinks.

First, do we need a provide for the loopback at all? I do not know of
any scenario in which a linux or *bsd system will not have an active
loopback interface. If we just make sure that the loopback interface
comes up in the boot runlevel, we should be good right?

The second question this bug brings up is whether services should "need"
or "use" net. Remember that the "need" dependency will try to run the
needed service even if it is in init.d but not in a runlevel.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

William
