Bug 211189 – baselayout-2 with openrc-9999 has incomplete functions.sh

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timothy Stotts 2008-02-23 18:25:01 UTC]

The file /etc/init.d/functions.sh provided by baselayout-2 with openrc-9999 from the uberlord overlay is incomplete.

A specific example.

/sbin/modules-update from sys-apps/module-init-tools requires function KV_to_int() to update /etc/modprobe.conf .  However, the provided version of /etc/init.d/functions.sh is missing all of the KV functions. These functions are not just used by /etc/modules.autoload.d , but also by /sbin/modules-update .

Updating of modprobe.conf is a basic necessity of any Linux distro.

Reproducible: Always

Error message:

Only modules-update requires KV_to_int, which works only for Linux systems (or systems whose versioning works purely off 3 dot seperated numbers). As modules-update isn't needed for newer module-init-tools, this function should die and be present only in modules-update.

In other words, I have no wish to add it to OpenRC.

latest module-init-tools has been rewritten
