Title: Baselayout update Author: Christian Faulhammer <[email protected]> Author: William Hubbs <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2011-05-01 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/baselayout-2 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 system is written entirely in bash, which makes it slow and not very flexable. In the near future, 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. After you install these packages, please do not reboot your system untill you follow the upgrade guide located at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml. It is important that you follow the guide as soon as possible after these packages are upgraded. Otherwise, there is a chance that your system will not reboot properly.
