I've just upgraded to the latest openrc version; I was aware of the |
2 |
netifrc USE flag introduction |
3 |
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/275748). But so far |
4 |
the presence of the newnet flag was actually a "switch" between the old |
5 |
and the new network stack, given that one of the two should (must?) be |
6 |
added in any case. |
7 |
Now the presence of both netifrc and newnet could make a bit of |
8 |
confusion, particularly from a user perspective. We have of course 4 |
9 |
cases; two of them are clear: |
10 |
1) netifrc -newnet: "legacy" network stack; |
11 |
2) -netifrc newnet: "new" network stack. |
12 |
|
13 |
The other two cases need a clarification: |
14 |
3) -netifrc -newnet: no network stack?!? |
15 |
4) netifrc newnet: ??? |
16 |
|
17 |
This should be definitely documented somewhere (I didn't find anything). |
18 |
|
19 |
And, the last question: what's the point to have two flags instead the |
20 |
good old one? |
21 |
|
22 |
Thanks for any clarification. |
