[Resolvconf-devel] Re: Bug#359270: resolvconf and network-manager

[A Mennucc]

I agree : this way network-manager will not _depend_ on resolvconf,
but it will use it when available (and not disrupt the symlink)

note that the patch in 
 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2005-July/msg00184.html
works in the way of the pseudocode: it has a snippet
   if (!g_file_test (RESOLVCONF_BIN, G_FILE_TEST_IS_EXECUTABLE))
		return rewrite_resolv_conf(mgr, error);
that ignores resolvconf if the binary is not there

a.
