[arch-dev-public] [signoff] initscripts-2011.07.1-1

[Tom Gundersen]

Hi guys,

It has been almost two months since the last initscripts release, and
a lot of small changes have been merged (and a few big ones).

In particular, I'd like to point out a last minute addition by Dave: a
new script, /usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles, which is ran at boot
to clean and create files and folders in non-persistent directories
(such as /run and /tmp). Daemons that needs this functionality (such
as udisks) can get it by putting a .conf file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/.
This should allow us to support /var/run and /var/lock being symlinked
to /run and /run/lock.

Please test and signoff. As usual, I'll wait a few extra days before
moving to core.

Cheers,

Tom

Changes to rc.conf
------------------

The VERBOSE parameter no longer has an effect, use the kernel's
loglevel= parameter instead. Most p

If HARDWARECLOCK is empty we will read the value of UTC/LOCAL from
hwclock's adjfile instead. To av
interacting with the hardwareclock set HARDWARECLOCK="IGNORE".

We now support (optionally) setting the broadcast address in the new
network config.

Behavioral changes
------------------

We no longer silence errors thrown by udev. In particular, if udevadm
--settle times out, we get an

We no longer adjust the rtc on boot, as it is unreliable, we only make
corrections for the timezone

We no longer mount /run as noexec.

Misc changes
------------

Cleaning up of /tmp and friends is now done by an external tool. This
tool is intended to allow pac
kages to maintain {/var,}/run{/lock,} in the absense of rc scripts.

General refactoring which should make maintenance and writing custom
hooks easier.
