At some point I'd like to do something like the following patch for the placement of files to make margianlly more sense. Not going to do it in the immediate future (at least not the next release), but i thought I'd put it out there. TL;DR: put initscript files where they belong without breaking compat or requiring user action. Cheers, Tom
From 4bf1959e3d7d27d6c9d824e3ef932902129f3de3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:20:29 +0100 Subject: [RFC][PATCH] move non-config files out of /etc
Place scripts that can be called from the console in /usr/bin, and the rest in /usr/lib/initscripts/. We symlink /etc/rc.d/functions to /usr/lib/initscripts/functions for compatibiliy. On upgrade we also symlink the other scripts, but not on new installs: if [ "$(vercmp $2 2012.0?.1)" -lt 0 ]; then for script in sysinit shutdown single multi; do ln -s "../usr/lib/initscripts/rc.${script}" /etc/ done fi The reason for these symlinks is to avoid issues with people not merging inittab.pacnew.
