Hi Dave, Thanks for getting the ball rolling! On Saturday 26 March 2011 16:31:56 Dave Reisner wrote:
Hoping to get some movement on this list started early, so I'm peeling off some patches from my git tree that I've had sitting around for a while. The first 6 are rudimentary cleanup -- they don't try to affect functionality, but rather are meant to clean inconsistant or questionable syntax used, as well as possibly shave off a few CPU cycles here and there.
I thought that I'll treat patches to initscripts in the following way: I'll ask everyone to post them to this mailinglist as you have done, then I'll let some time pass for people to review and ack/nack (depending on how serious the patches are) before applying them. In this case, if there has been no objections in a few days I'll take that as a sign that everything is ok.
The final patch is a little more controversial and proposes to remove the decade old net-tools from the network service. This is a fairly straightforward change that was patched in a similar manner several years ago by James Raynor (iphitus), in response to FS #10160 which was eventually closed as "deferred".
Without having looked at the details yet, I think this initiative is great! I hope we'll get some people to review/ack this before proceeding. Cheers, Tom
