I haven't really looked at using /run for anything in openrc on linux, but that might be possible once we have it installed in baselayout. I don't think it would fix this issue though. > as for the paths, openrc should be using the paths it installs into. so if > we're installing into /lib64/rc..., then that's what we should be using. We are installing into /lib/rc, but /lib is a symlink on 64 bit systems, so we are having an issue resolving the path. > > The simplest fix for this would be for us to add /libexec to baselayout > > and start using it for platform-agnostic code.

The same thing should be applied to /usr/libexec then shouldn't it? (just asking for more info here) William
