Greetings,

As have probably noticed I've been working over the last weeks to remove
the last vestiges of the RC_SUBR and RC_SUBR_SUFFIX macros from the
tree. Thanks to pav committing version 1.636 of bsd.port.mk I was able
to remove the sysutils/rc_subr port, and update the documentation in the
Porter's Handbook accordingly. This is the culmination of work that was
started almost 7 years ago to allow the ports to use what was then the
new rc.d system.

The "Heads up" aspect of this is that new scripts should not be added
that contain the %%RC_SUBR%% or %%RC_SUBR_SUFFIX%% macros since they
will no longer be expanded. The former should simply be written
literally as /etc/rc.subr. The latter should not be used.

There are a handful of ports that include rc.d scripts provided by the
vendor that still have the %%RC_SUBR%% string in them, and patch that
out themselves. I have already updated those ports to patch it with the
literal /etc/rc.subr string. If you are working on a new port with
similar circumstances the same solution should be used.


Regards,

Doug
