inconsistent terminology of dependency type #295

Closed iacore closed 8 months ago

iacore commented 9 months ago

man dinitctl (add-dep section)

type must be one of regular, milestone or waits-for.


man dinit-service

SERVICE DEPENDENCIES: need, milestone, waits-for


is regular = need ?

Yes, a regular dependency is a "needs" (hard) dependency. You're probably right that the terminology is used inconsistently.
