It's somewhat ambiguous whether the provides line should be the class or the instance. I'd probably supply the class if the implementation is largely conformant to the standard. You might even consider supplying both. That way a dependent item could choose whether it trusts the generic match or if it prefers to match against the more specific case. However, it might be moot if no other startup items are likely to depend on this one. Lastly, StartupItems are on their way out, and unless you're seeking compatibility with pre-Tiger (10.4) systems, you'd be better off using a launchd plist. I am writing a startup item for an application called Miredo, and have the following for my StartUpParameters.plist: Does this look right? Should the provides be referring to the program name or the 'technology' being implemented. What I mean by this, is that Miredo is an implementation of Teredo, so should I indicate provides 'teredo' or 'miredo'? Andre This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
