I am running default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib profile, and I got the following news item, after syncing this morning:
# eselect news read 2011-05-01-baselayout-update Title Baselayout update Author Christian Faulhammer <fa...@gentoo.org> Author William Hubbs <willi...@gentoo.org> Posted 2011-05-01 Revision 1 The baselayout package provides files which all systems must have in order to function properly. You are currently using version 1.x, which has several issues. The most significant of these is that the included init scripts are written entirely in bash, which makes them slow and not very flexible. On 2011/05/08, you will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to 2.x and a new package, sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you perform this update as soon as possible. Please note, after these packages are emerged, it is __Absolutely_Critical__ that you immediately update your configuration files with dispatch-conf, etc-update or a similar tool then follow the steps in the migration guide located at the following URL. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN AN UNBOOTABLE SYSTEM! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEED TO BOOT FROM A LIVE CD OR DVD, MOUNT YOUR ROOT FILE SYSTEM, CHROOT INTO THAT ENVIRONMENT AND FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS!
