I thought the whole point of the gentoo-functions package was for it to take over the /etc/init.d/functions.sh shortcut?? As far as I am aware (and i believe vapier will confirm), /etc/init.d/functions.sh is and shall always remain part of the Gentoo API, despite /etc/init.d/ now being the realm of openrc proper. This was part of the discussion over a year ago when the decision was made to implement the pure-bash gentoo-functions.sh replacement in the first place, and why that symlink didn't disappear back then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF0EAREIAAYFAlQHW5YACgkQ2ugaI38ACPDligD9HBwLjLpgS/h9KQZzlBPCAENK 6K/X5Mnvi64fYINtebQA90Hu3GDJUHhOTG3it4ThoHphXdCd1Y3/TmutSnbDYDs= =RJUs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
