sys-apps/setserial-2.17-r2 used /etc/rc.d/config/serial file as source for function setports(), where typically were 'setserial' commands with parameters. in 2.17-r3 configuration moved to /etc/serial.conf (good), but now it allows only arguments for setserial and not stty, which i used to setup some terminal properties (for example rows & cols). it seems to me that serial.conf is right place to configure more options than only port parameters, so i think that serial.conf format should be extended to allow more options. currently, i just added some lines to /etc/init.d/serial, which is not the right way of configuring system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.use /etc/rc.d/config/setserial with new ebuild 2. 3.

only way to extend it without breaking existing support would be to allow a keyword, say 'stty', in the file: <device> <args> stty <device> <args> then the init.d would check to see if device == stty and if so, run stty instead of setserial
In CVS now. Sorry about the 2 year delay.
better late than never ;-)
