This patch doesn't follow the existing method for managing runlevels, so it won't really work.

The ability to specify runlevels should be a provider feature, so that we can differentiate between those that can and can't.

Luke,

I just had a look at this because I figured I could solve this and found a couple of things:

  • I can't figure what you mean by "The ability to specify runlevels should be a provider feature, so that we can differentiate between those that can and can't." I suspect that you are unhappy with the patching of service.rb but I'm unclear on how to solve this in the provider. AFAIK there is no existing method to manage runlevels ?
  • I think current gentoo service provider had a bug that will cause puppet to reenable services in the "boot" runlevel every puppet-client run. It only looks at the "default" runlevel

Killer Fox? - Luke means a "feature" like support for Shadow passwords in the user type. Have a look at that for an approach. That way it can be turned on or off for different providers for which its relevant.

Any interest in updating this patch to use features? Otherwise I'll close the ticket.
