Yes, it will be optional. Udev-171 had: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(A) persistent-net-generator.rules (and their helpers) installed only |
| 15 |
via USE='rule-generator' (ie, --with-rule-generator), which is how I |
| 16 |
plan to manage it in eudev as well; and |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
(B) there was a way in udev.conf to disable (or actually skip) |
| 19 |
generation of persistent-net.rules -- this was handled in the init |
| 20 |
scripts and so I am unsure if it will be put back, but if the |
| 21 |
sys-fs/udev maintainers see no issues with this code being put back |
| 22 |
into the init scripts then we will ensure that works as well. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Since the USE flag will be off by default I expect the majority of |
| 25 |
users will end up with the functionality they seem to want, which is |
| 26 |
that nothing will create the persistent-net.rules but they can do so |
| 27 |
by hand. |
