> sys-apps/openrc-0.5.1 Just a heads-up for anyone reading this and thinking about upgrading, who hasn't yet. rc_start_wait is now in SECONDS, NOT the former MS, or at least it seems to be for some of us. So at the default /etc/rc.conf setting of 100 (which I had doubled to 200 here), it'll wait for 100 seconds on several scripts. That's longer than the 60-second wait others have built-in to wait for their dependencies, causing various problems. So until this gets fixed, you may wish to set rc_start_wait=1 in /etc/rc.conf, if you're trying the upgrade. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288495 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288495 (Also see 288494, which I filed not realizing the long timeout, thus believing it had hung. It'll be marked a dup of the above momentarily...) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
