Even with openrc still in @system? Doesn't look like that bug has been fixed yet.[1] > if you don't find any of those (few) packages actually > using the API, then just make the change and wait for someone to > complain. With openrc still in @system, that's probably the way it'll need to be handled, tho ideally everything that needs it will be RDEPENDing on it by now in preparation for removing openrc from @system, so nothing will break. --- [1] I've had my entire @system negated in /etc/portage/profiles/packages since long before I switched to systemd, and after symlinking /etc/init.d/functions.sh -> /lib/gentoo/functions.sh, I unmerged openrc. So to see if it was in the normal @system I had to manually check if openrc was still starred in a packages file any of the broadly sourced profiles and it is, in base, with the only negations in the prefix and freebsd profiles. Obviously nothing I run breaks without any of the other files openrc provided, but that doesn't mean nothing else in the tree does. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
