to proceed with the SuSEconfig clearance initiative, let's take a look at SuSEconfig.gdm and SuSEconfig.wdm. Both of them are used to (re)generate config files, by reading some options from /etc/sysconfig/*. To get rid of those SuSEconfig scripts, their logic needs to be moved to /etc/init.d/xdm, to have it (re)generate the according config files prior to launching gdm or wdm.
Comments, criticism, better ideas?
Generating config files every time *dm is started is a bad idea IMHO. Reason: It is done _at every boot_ instead of "sometimes" after installing packages or alike. So you will speedup SuSEconfig, but slow down booting a bit :-(
It depends. The init scripts could easily detect if the sysconfig-scripts are newer than the config files (or even md5sum them) and regenerate them only when needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
