[gentoo-soc] netifrc on systemd: Weekly Report #5

Hello,

This week I tested the codebase on gentoo+systemd machines.
Upon testing it on a actual systemd machine, I figured out the missing
functions and fixed a few bugs. I could successfully test eth0 and lo
interfaces. I also tested it on a gentoo+openrc system to make sure that I
did not introduce any breaking changes

Added the prototype for is_net_fs function and defined functions primarily
used in the depend block (program, after, need, etc.)

I'm attaching the VirtualBox Image I'm using and the build instructions
here:
VirtualBox image:
Gentoo -
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8yZctFMulwlT2hwanNpTVdJWkE&usp=sharing

Build Instructions:
1. After getting the VM running, I generally mount /usr/portage and
/usr/local/portage from my local machine
/usr/local/portage is my local overlay:
https://github.com/rabisg/gentoo-overlay
But now netifrc-9999 is installed anyways
2. You can directly run
sudo systemctl restart net@eth0
sudo systemctl status net@eth0

Hey Rabi,

Just curious how this naming scheme were formed. Intuitively, eth0 is a
subset of net, making "eth0@net" and "net.eth0" more natural.

Hello Benda,

Actually this is not my convention. This is piggybacking on the systemd
convention
In the current system (openrc) net.eth0 is a symlink to net.lo and the
interface is deduced at run-time and appropriate action is taken.
In systemd instantiated services work in the same way. Symlink to the
original service and the @ part is passed as a parameter and I guess it is
supposed to be used the same way too i.e. the @ part is to be  seen as an
variable. So I thought this would be the best way to represent it in
systemd setting.

Hope this makes sense.
