All, bugs like this one [1] are making me question the net/lo provides again, and I want to know what everyone thinks.
First, do we need a provide for the loopback at all? I do not know of any scenario in which a linux or *bsd system will not have an active loopback interface. If we just make sure that the loopback interface comes up in the boot runlevel, we should be good right? The second question this bug brings up is whether services should "need" or "use" net. Remember that the "need" dependency will try to run the needed service even if it is in init.d but not in a runlevel. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, William [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425130
