I'm good with that. Coming from a carrier background I know that frequent updates does not necessarily mean more stable, but actively developed with real-world users is convincing enough for me to merge this. > > - Can you update your recipe (and the other, if necessary) to provide > > an appropriate PROVIDES / CONFLICTS variable? >=20 > I am not sure we should. Being two alternatives nothing blocks someone > to install both. I thought about that, but the question in my mind is does it make sense to install both? If they both tried to start up at boot via initscripts/systemd, would they conflict with each other or do they manage that gracefully?

I'd really like that, if it turns out lldpad is a reasonable subset of lldpd functionality. Either way I'll take a look at the latest patch set and if there's anything specific in there I have to comment on, I will, otherwise we'll give everyone else on the list a bit of time to respond and then make a call about the specifics of merging this. --=20 -Joe MacDonald. :wq --kVXhAStRUZ/+rrGn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJV+XksAAoJEEn8ffcsOfaWGLEIANIl22qJOT/uru1pwHjRw8Ph n6vYmoKWxSN3Dwk2LmzdWRhKrBuZm0kOOqDOGke1ChBd2m6SBceA2hbWBh5GazHC 1AQCfMw40qzPhSD4vNLybeQoFpbMungqjOHy+tW2pFoC/48gLK6fIP7UWftBYkTw q07Ffc3M2XS3Tapdq8baJidBV4MixBzsh1ONYVHlcKeTCA0cRhLdGCP/Dr1ymdyf dlAqZ/sK+7lgpLBe+Yu/0H9/VOdElORKNO0w0uXWBf2YocngLW0sasmDY9HBiGzx zhDaw3aM8mAwOf7o3MOvzZdon+NK6S5v2C4fdiEfZsW571jsyK4qCzYt7s/TcwQ= =Z9NZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kVXhAStRUZ/+rrGn--
