Your dear friends in Debian would enjoy such changes as well, for those using zfs with kfreebsd or a home build of the zol package. Perhaps this would be a fit for upstream? > Rich Cheers, Paul -- .''`.

Again, I'm not the maintainer, so don't hold me to this - but I remember hearing something about something somewhere thinking the name is `rc', even after moving the binary out of the way. It'd also be great to have a similar setup in Gentoo and Debian, but I can clearly see how Gentoo'ers would be resistant to such a tough change to make. > -- > Regards, > Markos Chandras Cheers, Paul -- .''`.

I'm sure the Debian folks would be happy to strip the symlink from the deb over having to patch OpenRC's rc binary => openrc against the upstream source. Shipping /usr/bin/rc => /usr/bin/openrc would be totally cool for Debian, I believe. Hopefully the OpenRC team will come in and correct me if I'm wrong :) Fondly, Paul -- .''`.
