But if you agree that it's fine > for /etc/default to override config setup somewhere else, then > there should not be any problem with ENABLE/DISABLE. That argument makes no sense. Just because /etc/default is used in other broken ways, shouldn't mean that this particular broken way is fine. An ENABLE switch does more than just disabling the run-at-boot state of an initscript. While I can buy the argument that some packages should not start *at boot* by default, I do believe that whenever an initscript is called with the argument "start", it should bloody well start, and not exit after doing nothing because I haven't edited some scarcely related file somewhere. If installing initscripts in such a way that they're not started at boot by default is not possible in Debian currently, then that's a bug that we need to fix. But the right fix is *not* to ship initscripts which are intentionally crippled at install time. That's just annoying. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

One of the reasons I'm using network-manager instead of wicd or even plain ifupdown is the possibility to switch (more or less) seamlessly between wired and wifi. wicd does this just fine too. Tell it to autoconnect to wired and selected wifi networks and it 'just works' (TM) for me. (wired at work, wireless at home, in the normal case). I find both daemons give a smooth experience for this usage (but wicd has the advantage of useful curses and cli interfaces). +1 (...) wicd is easy to disable as it has a ENABLE/DISABLE option in /etc/defaults. N-M doesn't so you either have to remove it properly or resort to nobbling the init script. When using rcconf, this becomes even easyer that editing text files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
