5* rc-scripts 1.2.8 (4 March 2002)
6
7 4 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: add /etc/init.d/xdm,
8 /etc/X11/startDM.sh and updated /etc/inittab to fix the "dead key"
9 problem we had with xdm/gdm/kdm. We should move them to the
10 xfree ebuild later on when things settles down.
11
12 Added some sanity checks to /sbin/rc, /etc/init.d/runscripts.sh.
13
14 Added a basic $PATH to /etc/init.d/functions.sh to fix a problem
15 where we had a invalid $PATH on boot in some cases.
16
17* rc-scripts 1.2.7 (3 March 2002)
18
19 3 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: fixed the problem
20 of rc-scripts trying to start/stop a service multiple times if it
21 fails to do so. Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh and /sbin/rc for
22 this.
23
24 Fixing some variable declarations in /etc/init.d/runscript.sh caused
25 /etc/init.d/net.lo to fail on stop ($IFACE was set invalid). Fixed
26 this.
27
28 Added caching of the "depend() { need foo; } " lines, and updated
29 /etc/init.d/depscan.sh to touch the actual files less. This should
30 speedup dependancy caching a lot, especially on slow machines.
31
32 Updated /etc/passwd to have users with no shell defined, use /bin/false
33 for security.
34
35 Update /etc/fstab to mention /dev/shm since we dont mount it anymore.
36
37 1 March 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: added a wrapper for
38 sourcing the rc-scripts to eliminate syntax errors. Thanks to
39 Karl Trygve Kalleberg (aka karltk) for the idea. Updated
40 /etc/init.d/depscan.sh, /etc/init.d/functions.sh and
41 /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for this (added wrap_rcscript() function).
42
43 Removed stopping of dependant services that have current service as
44 a 'use'dependancy ... should be less confusing now.
45 Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh for this.
46
47 28 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: add /etc/conf.d/local.start
48 and /etc/conf.d/local.stop for adding any misc programs to startup. This
49 should pretty much have /etc/init.d/ static, except for baselayout updates,
50 etc.
51
52 27 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: in some wierd cases,
53 a redundent /dev/.devfsd on a unmounted /dev can cause problems. Fixed
54 this in /sbin/rc.
55
56 Added the patches from Grant Goodyear (aka g2boojum) to enable us to
57 use a ramdisk to store the contents of ${svcdir}. Updated /sbin/rc,
58 /etc/init.d/functions.sh and /etc/init.d/checkroot for this.
59
60 26 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: fix my brain dead
61 update of the 25th. It really should keep "gentoo=nodevfs" in mind.
62 Also added 'get_bootparam()' to help in retrieving kernel options.
63 Updated /etc/init.d/functions.sh, /etc/init.d/checkroot and /sbin/rc
64 for this.
65
66 Updated /etc/init.d/consolefont to work without devfs as well.
67
68 When rebooting or shutting down, a service should not fail to stop
69 if a service it depends on, fails. Updated /etc/init.d/runscript.sh
70 for this.
71
72 25 Feb 2002; Martin Schlemmer <azarah@gentoo.org>: added a check if
73 /dev is mounted when creating entries for /etc/mtab. This should solve a
74 invalid entry or /dev being mounted even with 'gentoo=nodevfs' option.
75 Updated /etc/init.d/checkroot for this.
76
77 17 Feb 2002: Daniel Robbins <drobbins@gentoo.org>: Made "xfs" the default
78 filesystem in /etc/fstab (from ReiserFS) and removed "notail" option (it's
79 just in a comment now)
80
