[opensuse-packaging] Changes in sysconfig package
From now on we call modprobe in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-driver.rules
Hi all, there are two significant changes in susconfig package: - /sbin/getcfg removed - /sbin/hw{up,down,status} removed getcfg ^^^^^^ Since some time we provide persistent network interface names. Therefore we don't need to work with hardware descriptions in network setup scripts. From now on we will name network configuration files again ifcfg-<interface> and nothing else. /sbin/getcfg/ was formerly necessary - to get the current interface name from a hardware description -> obsolete - to find the right configuration file -> obsolete - to provide information about the device/interface -> obsolete (sysfs has improved in between) - to do some special tricks on S390 -> will move into some S390-package There are still some other packages which use getcfg. If you are maintainer of such an package please remove getcfg from it. For possible configuration files that contain hardware descriptions i will provide a conversion tool. Just contact me in such a case or for other questions. hwup ^^^^ directly. hwup is no longer used and therefore all hwcfg-* files are obsolete. Since most of these configs contain just the default driver we don't convert them. They will just be dropped. If some device needs some special driver, this may be configured in udev rules more flexible then before. Module options belong to modprobe.conf. It was a big mistake that they could ever be written in hwcfg-*. Manual device control is provoided by sysfs: - to release a device: echo -n <device id> > /sys/bus/*/drivers/*/unbind - to activate a device: echo -n add > /sys/devices/..../uevent The sysconfig package in next beta will still contain getcfg and hwup, but does not use them itself. -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Next factory sync. Package is already comitted. How frequently is it synced? -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Once everything is build through. So, at least once a week (unless we break stuff last in the last two weeks), but in general every two or three days.
