editor_callfortesting.org added a comment to D22012: Import dhcpcd(8) into FreeBSD base..

This clearly has quite a bit of attention!
Is it PkgBase-friendly?
Are there any blockers other than the usual re-basing as time moves on?
If a vendor-branch import, how difficult is the maintenance burden?

From the 2024-03-12 Jail Production User Call: This looks straight-forward. (Discussion in the recording) Should save users unnecessary reboots to clean up dead jails.

I have testesd 14.0-BETA4 amd64 with and without this patch. dd'ing 100GB of /dev/random to a file on the SATA-booted drive works with both. This was definitely a problem with previous releases.

This is a bit unusual. Can you show which errors you are getting on stderr that you expect to not be getting?

The boot string that the configuration file is based on works fine with stderr redirection.

royger@: I am finding that Windows sometimes needs two shutdown attempts. Should this be left to the user to verify that the shutdown was successful, or should we consider some logic to wait, destroy, etc?

editor_callfortesting.org added a comment to D28551: xendomains rc script for xen-tools to allow automatic guest start/stop.

(Not sure how to submit unsubmitted comments...)
Regarding "status": This relies entirely on xl(1) for status, and it just provides the facts. There is no daemon involved short of xencommons and the Xen kernel itself. I had to use xencomains_cmd because without it, the rc framework would look to see if xl was running (xl top in my case for debugging), and it would say "Hey, is this already running?" when you started domains. NetBSD opts for a "list" rather than status, and Linux does things I need to decrypt.
