I have a very basic system setup comprising apache24, mysql-server and tomcat8.
But it won't boot properly. Tomcat is started before mysql-server and the web app fails to start.
I've read about rc.d scripts, PROVIDE and REQUIRE, etc. and I can fix this or course by editing the read-only rc.d files (which will never auto-update after that). My question is not about this.
My question is - why don't packages kind of use a common sense default order and at least start web servers after database servers? Wouldn't that be a bit more user-friendly?
For example, in rc.conf itself:
Or
Or something like it...

rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* gives:
Code:

/etc/rc.d/LOGIN
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat8
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server
