All,This is a formal notice to everyone that OpenRC will be hitting the Gentoo tree sooner rather then later. I would like to see *ALL* arch teams give the current code a whirl on their systems, which is available via the layman module "openrc".I would also like to give the docs team a chance to weigh in here and work with me on a migration guide as well as any necessary updates.
The installation handbooks won't be changed until openrc & baselayout-2 are stabilized and shipped with the stage3 tarballs.
The same goes for our existing documentation. Until the new baselayout & openrc are stabilized, made the default, *and* the old stuff is marked deprecated, don't expect it to show up in our other documents alongside baselayout-1 content. The last thing I want is to fork our documentation code samples, and duplicate everything with "if you're on baselayout2 and/or openrc, do this instead...." instructions. That type of thing is a maintenance and usability headache. It's all or nothing. "There can be only one!"
I'll be working on the migration guide with Cardoe (and possibly Roy, if we can tag-team him into submission). As much of a pain as migration will be, we'll definitely need a howto. Fun, fun.
