I will continue development without them and let you know if there are any big problems.
Thanks.

I believe curaga answered this request in the above referenced thread.
If your use of perl requires iana-etc.tcz then it is an extension perl that needs /etc/protocols. The base does not need it. It is the policy if the base does not need such then it is best served via extension.

If there is a timing issue with some startup script(s), then move iana-etc.tcz high up on your onboot.lst or add iana-etc.tcz to perl.tcz.dep which will ensure that iana-etc.tcz will load before perl.

Would be better to have the maintainer of the Perl extension update the info file with a note about /etc/protocols and the iana-etc extension.

bmarkus:
Robert,

this is not Perl related at all. It comes up time to time with other extensions. I just faced it two days ago for example creating go language pack. In fact, this is a generic stuff one can expect be in any LINUX system. And small.

But OK, it is your baby. WIll use iana extension. ut in such case please do remove /etc/services from base, iana-etc.tcz provides it.

 ;)

bmarkus:
Just a final note. We are talking about a 6k file. It can be a reduced version with few lines of common protocols like IP, TCP, UDP and ICMP and use iana-etc.tcz when a full set is needed. Same way as already implemented for /etc/services.

Having a minimal /etc/protocols in base in 99% no need to install iana-etc.tcz as /etc%services is already there, so one can avoid annecessary overhead. TC is about efficiency.

Anyhow, I do not want to waste more time for 1k where no any real argument to omit except 'just'.

:(

roberts:
Since your 6k file is obviously different than iana 25k file please email me your proposed file and the team and I will consider.
