[gentoo-dev] coldplug and hotplug

[Roy Marples]

Hi List

I'm in two minds about something so I'm asking for input :)

baselayout lets all hotplug events through and gives no control over this, 
whereas we can limit coldplug events via the RC_COLDPLUG variable.
RC_COLDPLUG is currently just a pattern list, but used to be a simple yes|no
I'm wondering if it's a bit messy from the users perspective - would something 
like this be clearer or easier?

RC_HOTPLUG="yes|no"
RC_COLDPLUG="yes|no"
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan !net.*"

or

RC_HOTPLUG="yes|no|net.wlan !net.*"
RC_COLDPLUG="yes|no|net.wlan !net.*"

The reason I'm asking is that the last baselayout patch I did changed from 
yes|no to a pure list match, RC_COLDPLUG="*" and I'm not sure if I like it or 
not.

Thanks for your thoughts :)
