[gentoo-user] fine grained net dependancies

[Mike Williams]

Hey,

At some point I was sure baselayout supported full runscript depend(){} 
syntax, in the form depend_${iface}(){}.
However it's not working quite how I would like it to.
I *need* heartbeat to start *after* br0. (My network config is quite complex, 
br0 is a bridge of bond0 and bond4, bonds 0 and 4 being composed of eths 9, 
2, 6, and 1 respectively.)

I have tried adding
depend_br0(){
	before heartbeat
}
I've used both the old and new depend syntax to make the bonds need/NEED the 
eth interfaces, and the bridge need/NEED the bonds.

But heartbeat continues to start after the first net service starts, so it 
fails to start as the interface it needs doesn't exist yet.

I'd really rather not modify the heartbeat init script if at all possible.

Thanks
