Unfortunately, im fairly afk lately, I am set as devaway dealing with rl issues - I check my email but I don't have a lot of free time currently. Patches are greatly appreciated - I saw the other one you did but haven't looked it over yet. hey, i'm willing to help out, but i'm not sure which way is the better one. it seems /etc/init.d/net.eth0 can deal with the space separated format, so as long as this one is used its allright. so i see option 1) update the documentation and use space separated string everywhere 2) make the networkmanager backend more flexible to support both formats. which one do you think is better? 1 seems easier technically ;) Essentially, NetworkManager is missing proper baselayout-1 compatibility. Since baselayout-1 is still the current stable, this really needs to get fixed sooner, rather than later. This should probably be escalated to the QA team. I'd also venture that anybody working on new release media would be interested to know this, since it will definitely affect their builds. baselayout-1 was removed from portage six months ago. |
