It's actually been very stable and usable for a long time. It's not, and never will be a 100% drop in replacement for everything baselayout provides, but it's very very compatible. > Would it not make sense to start to snapshot some builds and push openrc > out for testing? (Seems like a gentoo job rather than an upstream is > the reason I ask here?) As Doug mentioned earlier, my git repo is available in an ebuild. Why haven't I done a snapshot or release yet? Well, I have one last feature to add basically. That feature is so it can be installed "prefixed" and still work perfectly - with the exception of not booting or shutting down the host system. I'll be doing this on my NetBSD box next week hopefully. But bugs are still being found and fixed - although at a slow rate :) Thanks Roy -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
