Initial patch
The intended behavior of the modules config file is correct as is. Please see: http://roy.marples.name/archives/openrc-discuss/2010/0073.html I think the documentation at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml#doc_chap2_sect3 does suggest that all 'matching' variables load their modules and that is incorrect. I suggest this ticket should be changed to be in the 'Documentation' Component. Then the GDP can decide what changes should be made to the document. Thoughts? Thanks. Trevor Docs team, I agree with comment #2 in this bug. The openrc migration guide implies that the modules* variables in /etc/conf.d/modules are cumulative, but this is not correct. What actually happens is, the more version specific variables override the more general ones. Thanks, William I can't really say that I like it, but it's, of course, an equally fine solution to the problem. Code Listing 2.3 in the migration guide has to be fixed then. Cheers, Renat Fixed in CVS. |
