update-modules maintainer which would be vapier. |

I notified him on IRC about this a few months ago, but he never replied |
| 12 |
one way or the other. |

It's not gone at all - just different. It's also no longer net specific, |
| 36 |
and applies to any service that can be multiplexed. But lets use net as |
| 37 |
the example as everyone understands that. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
With rc_depend_strict=YES (which is the default) |
| 40 |
If any services added to the current runlevel provide net then all those |
| 41 |
services will be used. If none found, then check the boot runlevel and |
| 42 |
use those. If none found then nothing provides net as such. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
With rc_depend_strict=NO we check the following and abort at the first |
| 45 |
match. |
| 46 |
Check if any started service provide net - if so use them. |
| 47 |
Check if any inactive services provide net - if so use them. |
| 48 |
Check if any coldplugged services provide net - if so use them. |
| 49 |
If nothing found then list ALL installed services that provide net. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Hopefully that makes things a little more clear. |
