wtf are you talking about ? Gentoo was always been the upstream of it. > It seems like the debate is around openrc vs systemd or whatever.

Gentoo wrote baselayout from scratch, and then rewrote baselayout-2 from scratch in C to address some fundamental issues at the time. then Roy stepped up to do a lot of the work and when he decided to part ways from Gentoo over POSIX shell/ebuild issues, but wanted to keep working on baselayout-2, we allowed him to do this. so he renamed the core bits to openrc and moved the development off of Gentoo infra. > Wouldn't it make more sense to clean up openrc and get it deployed, even > if in the long-term we decide to get rid of it? it's already cleaned up. this is the "squash regressions from baselayout-1 and make sure all stable packages are happy with it" phase. -mike
