All,

I have received a request to implement a feature in OpenRC to allow
multiple software packages to drop files in a directory, /etc/modules.d
for example, which would define modules the /etc/init.d/modules script
would load.

The design I'm thinking of would not change the use of
/etc/conf.d/modules, but the entries from the files would be added to
the appropriate module lists after the ones listed there.

I'll write more about the design as I get closer to formulating the
details, but at this point I just want to know what others thinkabout
this feature.

Thanks,

William
