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. |
