All, |

we have a pull request on OpenRC for a dependency checker [1]. |
4 |
|
5 |
The author of this patch believes that we should not only scan for |
6 |
circular deps, but break some of them automatically. |
7 |
|
8 |
I, and several other team members I have spoken with on IRC, disagree |
9 |
with this and think that we should just warn about the circular deps |
10 |
since users can break them by modifying files in /etc/conf.d, and the |
11 |
service script writers should be told about these kinds of issues so |
12 |
they can determine whether they neeed to adjust the dependencies in |
13 |
their scripts. |
14 |
|
15 |
I wanted to post a question here to see what people think, so feel free |
16 |
to comment. |

My opinion is the less automatic adjustment we do the better. |
