Bug 831513 – netifrc: remove the udev rules that start and stop the interfaces

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description William Hubbs 2022-01-20 04:16:59 UTC]

All,

this bug is being opened because of the following pr for OpenRC:

https://github.com/openrc/openrc/pull/182

The short version of this is that the author wants to split up the
modules service, but as shown in the discussion on the PR, this is not a
good way to handle this.

This patch removes the udev rules components from netifrc.

I will be adding udev-bugs as a cc to this bug for comments.

Here is the patch I mentioned that removes the udev rules from netifrc.

@floppym:
I understand that my patch would eliminate a practice that udev upstream
frowns on, running external programs in udev rules.

Is it correct that this is not recommended?

Thanks,

William
