I think he was going to ask Mike (vapier) about adding the symlink to baselayout itself, so that it doesn't get reaped away. I agree that the symlink should stay there for compatibility at least, which should also answer Ian's question. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes flamee...@flameeyes.eu — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/

[gentoo-dev] /var/run or /run for init scripts?
Hi all, I see a lot of inconsistencies in the init scripts. Some of them are using /var/run, others use /run. I just checked my box, and there is no /var/run although some init scripts are trying to use it. Which one is the correct one and why do we have both? The following guide only mentions /var/run http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 -- Regards, Markos Chandras - Gentoo Linux Developer http://dev.gentoo.org/~hwoarang
