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

[David Corbin <gentoo.org@machturtle.com>]

I emerged a bunch of stuff this morning, and got this:

--begin--
 * Gentoo is moving toward common configuration file for all network
 * interfaces. Thus starting from >=ppp-2.4.3-r10 the following files
 * are obsoleted and should be removed to avoid future confusion:
 *     /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 - conflict with baselayout
 *     /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 - conflict with baselayout
 *     /etc/ppp/chat-default - unused by this version
 *     /etc/ppp/options-pppoe - unused by this version
 *     /etc/ppp/options-pptp - unused by this version

 * If you use the old net.ppp0 script, you need to:
 *    - upgrade to >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre11
 *    - set ppp0 parameters in /etc/conf.d/net (see example file)
 *    - remove conflicting files
 *    - upgrade net-dialup/ppp
---end---

I looked at /etc/conf.d/net.example and to me it's woefully unclear how I port 
my /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 to the new file/format.  Any pointers to more 
information would be welcome.
