ovs-vswitchd.patch

Openvswitch (ovs-vswitchd) requires ovsdb-server, so dependency should be need instead of use.

Adding ovs-vswitchd to runlevel, but ovsdb-server not stops system startup because vswitchd is waiting for db.sock.
Comment 1 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-08-03 05:09:49 UTC
The database can also be on a remote server.
So this is entirely at the admins discretion whether or not ovs-vswitchd requires ovsdb-server. This is expressed by using "use" instead of "need" such that the admin can add ovsdb-server to the runlevel himself.
