Those functions were removed from functions.sh as only update-modules still uses them. udev does use KV_to_int though. I don't really want to add those functions back. Although we could trivially add is_older_than as a C applet built into rc. > And I think there is a circular dependency of: > openrc->init-module-tools->baselayout->openrc Quite possibly.

The > modified service name is missing... They're supposed to belong in /etc/conf.d/$SVCNAME Maybe you could suggest better wording? I suppose we could also allow rc_$SVCNAME_$depend to work, for example rc_clock_need="modules" > I also notice that the timezone of clock is gone, any alternative? > Also the network dependency of stopping/starting services when network > is unavailable/available is gone, any alternative? The timezone was variable was just a hack for the timezone ebuild to update /etc/localtime if it's not a symlink. I'm striving to remove all "Gentooisms" from it so that it really is platform neutral. Thanks Roy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
