Re: pkgsrc RC scripts

This keeps the logical separation between base and pkgsrc RC scripts
and still allows /usr (or /usr/pkg) to be on a separate filesystem.


Sounds like a good plan.  How will you handle duplicated rc.d scripts,
eg. /etc/rc.d/sshd vs. /etc/rc.pkg.d/sshd if sshd=yes in /etc/rc.conf?

And how do you handle rc.d scripts that are only present after some other script mounts the containing filesystem? Do you keep track of all the scripts that have already been executed, and re-run rcorder?
