All, here is the second draft. I am including updates from this thread as well as a couple of my own.
Let me know what you think. Thanks, William
Title: baselayout-1.x deprecation final warning Author: William Hubbs <willi...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2013-04-10 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/baselayout-2 WARNING! THIS NEWS ITEM REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION! On 28 Jun 2011, baselayout-2.x and OpenRC were first marked stable on all supported architectures in Gentoo Linux. Although we no longer support baselayout-1.x, we have continued support for migration from baselayout-1.x to baselayout-2.x and OpenRC. According to Gentoo policy, the support for migration was slated to end on 28 Jun 2012, a year after OpenRC was first marked stable. This is your final warning. openrc-0.11.8 will be the final release of OpenRC to support migration from baselayout-1.x. If you do not upgrade your system to baselayout-2.x and openrc-0.11.8 before openrc-0.11.8 leaves the tree, you will have to perform the migration manually when you upgrade or you will be left with an unbootable system. Manual migration is not officially supported, and could include fixing things with a live cd or re-installing your system. For questions about how to migrate your system, see the OpenRC migration guide [1]. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml
