Hi guys, It has been almost two months since the last initscripts release, and a lot of small changes have been merged (and a few big ones). In particular, I'd like to point out a last minute addition by Dave: a new script, /usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles, which is ran at boot to clean and create files and folders in non-persistent directories (such as /run and /tmp). Daemons that needs this functionality (such as udisks) can get it by putting a .conf file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/. This should allow us to support /var/run and /var/lock being symlinked to /run and /run/lock. Please test and signoff. As usual, I'll wait a few extra days before moving to core. Cheers, Tom Changes to rc.conf ------------------ The VERBOSE parameter no longer has an effect, use the kernel's loglevel= parameter instead. Most p If HARDWARECLOCK is empty we will read the value of UTC/LOCAL from hwclock's adjfile instead. To av interacting with the hardwareclock set HARDWARECLOCK="IGNORE". We now support (optionally) setting the broadcast address in the new network config. Behavioral changes ------------------ We no longer silence errors thrown by udev. In particular, if udevadm --settle times out, we get an We no longer adjust the rtc on boot, as it is unreliable, we only make corrections for the timezone We no longer mount /run as noexec. Misc changes ------------ Cleaning up of /tmp and friends is now done by an external tool. This tool is intended to allow pac kages to maintain {/var,}/run{/lock,} in the absense of rc scripts. General refactoring which should make maintenance and writing custom hooks easier.
