The following is a list of files and features that are going to be removed in the source tree. 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 --------------------------- What: oldnet ADSL rp-pppoe mode When: undecided Why: Replaced by the oldnet PPP module Who: Robin H. Johnson --------------------------- What: oldnet /etc/conf.d/wireless When: undecided Why: All configuration moved to /etc/conf.d/net Who: Robin H. Johnson --------------------------- What: Service pause action When: Removed already, compatbility warning in place. Why: ... Who: --------------------------- What: Service --startas, --chuid , --oknodo When: undecided Why: Obsolete or replaced by other options. --startas => use --name or --exec --chuid => use --user --oknodo => ignore return code instead Who: ---------------------------
