Since OpenRC is used outside of Gentoo, a warning like this would have to be: * /etc/init.d/test uses runscript and must be converted to openrc-run * For more details see the OpenRC NEWS file because we don't know where or if the file will be installed by downstreams. > In "/usr/share/doc/openrc-*/openrc-migration*" we describe _why_ this > was changed and tell them that all files in FILESDIR were already > migrated so chances are high that > > # emerge --oneshot -av $(grep -l '/sbin/runscript' /etc/init.d/*) > > will replace most runscripts with migrated scripts. > > If the user has already done that he/she should check which packages > owns the runscript (qfile /etc/init.d/foo) and should file a bug against > that package.

Probably so. In theory, there won't be too much to worry about at that point; I plan to delay a while before I do that. > PS: And don't forget to fix the warning from /sbin/runscript to honor > "--quiet".
