drzeus.cx :: initscripts-generic

Because of changes in Red Hat's original initscipts package, some modifications have been deprecated.

ifup-post

Calls ifup-routes up to three times, depending on which variables are available.
- Once for device interface, which in some cases can be a logical device interface.
- Once for the device name (NAME=).
- Once for the physical interface if this is different from the logical one.
$DEVICETYPE is changed to reflect the real device's type (instead of the logical) before checking the need to set hostname (lo, ppp and slip are excluded from hostname detection).

ifup-routes

Changed the usage text to reflect modified behaviour.
Two parameters are now accepted. One which specifies which interface is being modified, and on which states which file prefix that should be used.

ifup-post
- Calls ifup-routes with a second parameter stating the real device (first is just logical device).
  Note! The second parameter can also be "boot" indicating that the device is being brought up via /etc/init.d/network.
- $DEVICETYPE is changed to reflect the real device's type (instead of the logical) before checking the need to set hostname (lo, ppp and slip are excluded from hostname detection).
ifup-routes
- Changed the usage text to reflect modified behaviour.
- Bug fix. The script exits if "/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/$1.route" doesn't exist. It does however also support "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-$1" (which is more advanced).
- A real device, sent as second parameter, replaces the logical device for calls to "route" and "ip". (Files are still named based on the logical device).
