[gentoo-dev] net-fs/nfs-utils: rpc.idmapd required on both client & server side?

[Amit Dor-Shifer]

Hi,
I read in idmapd's manpage that "It provides functionality to the NFSv4 
kernel client and server". I'm therefore wondering whether it'd be 
desired to facilitate an rc dependency of nfsmount (client-side) in 
rpc.idmapd. /etc/init.d/nfs (server side) allows that via 
NFS_NEEDED_SERVICES.

Comments?
Amit

nfsmount already depends on rpc.idmapd when necessary

I've checked 1.1.4 & 1.2.2. Both don't seem to satisfy such a dependency:

amit0 ~ # qlist -Iv nfs-utils
net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.4-r1
amit0 ~ # /etc/init.d/nfsmount ineed
net rpcbind rpc.statd

amit0 ~ # emerge -qKa nfs-utils
[binary     U ] net-fs/nfs-utils-1.2.2-r1 [1.1.4-r1]

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

Could you therefore clarify?
