Maintainers of net-misc/networkmanager have been added CC. The init script installed by current Gentoo networkmanager ebuilds is not upstreamable because it makes sense only with our /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status script, which in turn depends on the networkmanager-0.9.2.0-pre-sleep patch. In other words, we are waiting for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387832 to finally be fixed :) If you want to remove the old Gentoo init script from networkmanager upstream, we are also fine with that; it's not much of an inconvenience for us, and networkmanager is your code, so the decision is up to you. > The init script installed by current Gentoo networkmanager ebuilds is not > upstreamable because it makes sense only with our > /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status script, which in turn > depends on the networkmanager-0.9.2.0-pre-sleep patch. Erm... nice. > In other words, we are waiting for > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387832 to finally be fixed :) Added to 0.9.8 tracker. > If you want to remove the old Gentoo init script from networkmanager > upstream, we are also fine with that; it's not much of an inconvenience for > us, and networkmanager is your code, so the decision is up to you. We are trying to open to a wider community. It's not a problem to maintain a Gentoo-specific initscript. I would just prefer not to maintain it in two places, upstream and Gentoo patches. So, if you thing this is a good idea, I'll remove it. |
