# ChangeLog for Gentoo System Intialization ("rc") scripts # Copyright 1999-2007 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPLv2 27 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : env-update now respects COLON_SEPARATED and SPACE_SEPARATED env.d values, #176198. 26 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : checkroot and checkfs now use more friendly generic options, #116016. 25 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : We now have an alternative to buffering stdout and stderr. RC_PREFIX="yes" will put the service name as a prefix to all output made by the service. Thanks to Ciaran McCreesh for the idea. 24 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : We now buffer stdout and stderr to a file and flush that when running in parallel. RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP has been renamed to RC_PARALLEL. 20 Apr 2007; Mike Frysinger : Automatically mount selinuxfs on /selinux in localmount. 20 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : Added the rc-abort command, #175106 thanks to Daniel Drake. Plugins now run in a forked process for extra resliance. 17 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : Fix bridge, vlan and bonding modules to work together, #174792. env vars ECOLOR_GOOD and friends now override our hardcoded builtins. 16 Apr 2007; Mike Frysinger : Allow addons to pass up their exit status in import_addon. Simplify /dev handling in init.sh and add mdev as an option. 16 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : Punted the volumes init script. Volume handling will be handled by init script that can be run at any point, even before checkroot. Don't search for a space after interface names in /proc/net, #174792 thanks to Mike Auty. 13 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : Fix module loading, #174360. s-s-d now changes group when changing user, #174362. netmask -> CIDR is worked out correctly #174341. * baselayout-2.0.0_alpha1 (11 Apr 2007) 07 Apr 2007; Mike Frysinger : "modules-update" -> "update-modules". 05 Apr 2007; Roy Marples : Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs can query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions. As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you should disable find too. zsh and ksh do not work at this time. Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash array based. As such, a new config format is available like so config_eth0="1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8/16" or like so config_eth0="'1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0' '5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.0.0'" We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS a link it bash. ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.
