Description of problem:
In order to add a package like the /etc/net scripts (see URL) to
Fedora Alternatives, it would be useful to split out the networking
components of initscripts, namely

/sbin/{ifup,ifdown,netreport,ppp-watch}
/etc/ppp/*
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network
/etc/sysconfig/{networking,network-scripts}/*
/usr/sbin/usernetctl
/usr/share/man/man1/{netreport.1,ppp-watch.8,usernetctl.8}.gz
/var/run/netreport

into a separate (sub-)package, say netscripts, that could be readily
replaced by another package, say "etcnet" that provides "netscripts".




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-8.04-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

I doubt this is really something we'd want to pursue; it's a lot of
packaging and build churn for not much Core benefit.

Comment 2 Kenneth Porter 2005-10-31 17:57:19 UTC
It might be doable as part of the general initscripts speed-up project discussed
in bug 99540.

Pending that, the interested user could do the hard work of repackaging
initscripts with the desired split and supplying it as a complete drop-in
replacement for initscripts at the etcnet project.

Comment 3 Denis Ovsienko 2005-12-09 14:43:53 UTC
I'm working on /etc/net 0.8.0. As long as it is ready, I will start trying to
pack it for Fedora Extras. I'm afraid I'll have to reopen this bug, hopefully
with a patch ready.
Thank you.
