I was going to suggest the same thing. And as you already have the git tree, it should be no problem. We must have an upgrade path that doesn't break existing setups. There are two possibilities: 1) make initscripts depend on netcfg 2) integrate new netcfg into initscripts James, what would you prefer here?

I can apply it as is, if that's a problem - but git-format-patch is soo much cooler. Take a look at Dan's "pacman workflow" on toofishes.net if you want a rundown.

I think it might be better to depends rather than merge. It'd probably be easer to maintain them separately.

I'm way behind here. This is merged on my local working branch (code.phraktured.net). I'm going to pull in a few more initscripts patches, then push to master and release a new package. That package will depend on netcfg Cheers, Aaron

That package will depend on netcfg

one kinda catch I just realised. netcfg2 depends on wireless_tools, wpa_supplicant -- so effectively that'd be making them a dep of initscripts. Some won't like that.

I definetely won't like that. Can't we script our rc.sysinit so it won't call netcfg2 if it's not found? And make it optional dependency of initscripts. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

I'm fine with an optional dep - how about we throw a comment above 'NETWORKS' and have rc.sysinit throw a warning it NETWORKS is defined but /etc/rc.d/netcfg isn't found?

that would be great -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

The reason for the depends was originally... this is a "breaking" change. People upgrade initscripts, and they no longer have any wireless scripts. Though it's a breaking change either way -- the configs are not backwards compatible.

Further, should I entirely remove /etc/conf.d/wireless too, or just rewrite it to be 'compatible' with netcfg2? I don't want to support it in it's present state.

I say remove it. If it's in the backup array, pacman will overwrite it. Would you mind providing me some text for the initscripts package install file regarding the new netcfg changes? Just some "make sure to X and Y and install netcfg"
