[pve-devel] [PATCH frr] add patch to change the starting order of mgmtd and zebra

[Hannes Duerr <h.duerr@proxmox.com>]

Currently the management daemon (mgmtd) starts only after Zebra is
started, which causes Zebra to throw some errors as described here [0].
Therefore we add a patch to change the starting order of the daemons.

+Subject: [PATCH] tools: fix daemon starting order for debian packages
+
+Currently the management daemon (mgmtd) starts only after Zebra is
+started, which causes Zebra to throw some errors as described here [0].
+The problem is, when the MGMTD was introduced [1], the order in tools/frr.in
+was adjusted correctly, but not in tools/frrcommon.sh.in.
+We are therefore now also changing it in frrcommon.sh.in.
