Well, I've learned a few things today, though I imagine I'll have forgotten them by tomorrow. :-( I did my best to separate what Alexis contributed into its target files, and I think it's now working from a local repo. At least I can --sync and --update boinc to -r2 without errors. However - stopping boinc still takes 60 seconds, with the differencec that I don't now see the trail of dots to show me how much longer I have to wait. Is that period hard-coded into the start/stop mechanism of openrc? -- Regards, Peter.
