Thank you very much at all for informations. So,
1) about dependency to /lib/gentoo/functions.sh currently this file is owned by sys-apps/gentoo-functions so this means that we could replace openrc from base file with gentoo-functions, right ? 2) about use of netifrc I see that on netifrc ebuild there are dependencies to sys-apps/gentoo-functions and sys-apps/openrc so this means a user that want use netifrc and install netifrc install correctly openrc. I see only an issue maybe, that on RDEPEND is missing block of sysv-utils use flag to avoid conflicts. We think that could be acceptable send a pr to replace openrc with gentoo-functions on /usr/portage/profiles/base/packages file ? Thank you again. G.
