Created attachment 386262 [details, diff] Deploy autoipd module to /lib/netifrc/net in avahi ebuild The network modules directory has changed from /lib/rc/net to /lib/netifrc/net after the network component was moved out to the netifrc package. This makes the network configuration fail when attempting to fallback to autoipd. To reproduce modify /etc/conf.d/net as follows replacing eth0 with any network interface on the system: modules="autoipd" dhcpcd_eth0="-t 5 --noipv4ll" config_eth0="dhcp" fallback_eth0="autoipd" Make sure the network interface used in the above configuration is disconnected from the network and restart net.eth0. autoipd configuration will fail with the following console output: * Bringing up interface eth0 * dhcp ... * Running dhcpcd ... dhcpcd[<pid>]: version 6.4.3 starting dhcpcd[<pid>]: eth0: adding address <ipv6 address> dhcpcd[<pid>]: eth0: waiting for carrier dhcpcd[<pid>]: timed out dhcpcd[<pid>]: exited * Trying fallback configuration autoipd * autipd ... * nothing provides `autoipd' * ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start The attached patch (on top of avahi-0.6.31-r5 for brevity) deploys the autoipd.sh module script to /lib/netifrc/net which fixes this issue.
Thanks for catching this. I've pushed it out in avahi-0.6.31-r6.ebuild. Please test it.
Thanks Anthony! Tested after merging 0.6.31-r6 in today's portage snapshot and it works: * Bringing up interface eth0 * dhcp ... * Running dhcpcd ... dhcpcd[<pid>]: version 6.4.3 starting dhcpcd[<pid>]: eth0: adding address <ipv6 address> dhcpcd[<pid>]: eth0: waiting for carrier dhcpcd[<pid>]: timed out dhcpcd[<pid>]: exited * Trying fallback configuration autoipd * autipd ... * Starting avahi-autoipd ... * received address
