Every entry should contain what exactly is going away, why it +is happening, and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is +removed, it should also be removed from this file. + +--------------------------- + +What: rc_sys automatic detection code + - Functions for removal: rc_sys_v1, rc_sys_v2 + +When: 2011/03/01 + +Why: The original automatic sub-system detection is flawed in that it cannot + safely detect some variables (Using cgroups confused it to think you were + using LXC, and Prefix cannot be detect by definition). Also, almost all of + the detection requires that /proc is available and readable. During early + boot, /proc may not be mounted yet, leading to mis-detection. The readable + condition can also fail under some hardened kernels when running as an + unprivileged user. + + The new rc_sys_v2 function uses the rc_sys variable from rc.conf. After + the removal, the contents of the rc_sys_v2 function will move into the + rc_sys function. + +Who: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> + +--------------------------- + |
