Description Jiri Popelka 2011-02-22 15:36:54 UTC 
Hi there,

I'm trying to get openresolv (resolvconf implementation) into Fedora (see bug #668153).
I'm attaching patch that adds /sbin/resolvconf support for initscripts.
It's simple and self-explanatory.
We call
/sbin/resolvconf -a "initscripts" < $tr
in ifup-post to inform resolvconf that "initscripts" want to 'merge' resolv.conf from $tr
In ifdown-post we call
/sbin/resolvconf -f -d "initscripts"
to let resolvconf know that we want to delete resolv.conf for "initscripts".
If there's no /sbin/resolvconf nothing changes.

There's also one suggested change in change_resolv_conf ().
change_resolv_conf() wrote Jason Van Dias (see bug #125712, especially comments #23, #24, #34)
to get something similar to resolvconf (to be specific: reload nscd whenever something changes /etc/resolv.conf).
change_resolv_conf() can take either 1 (path to temporary resolv.conf) or
more (probably lines of temporary resolv.conf) parameters.
AFAICT there's no script (see bugs that #125712 depends on) running it with more then one parameter.
So my suggestion is to remove this possibility and therefore simplify it.

Meh - I'm not really fond of this idea, simply because it then means multiple code paths to have to debug if something goes wrong. (See also: supporting multiple DHCP clients, etc.)
