Re: [gentoo-dev] [REVIEW] News Item - 2020-10-17-display-manager-init
Hi, I've attached the updated news item. It now depends on openrc and the wording has been improved to make it less ambiguous about it being optional. Aisha Title: New OpenRC Display Manager Initializer Scripts Author: Aisha Tammy Posted: 2020-10-22 Revision: 2 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: sys-apps/openrc There has been a refactoring of the old 'xdm' init script and its requirements from various packages into an independent package: gui-libs/display-manager-init This package provides the 'display-manager' startup script for handling your chosen display manager, without being dependent on Xorg server. To update to the new DM init scripts, you need to manually add the package in your @world set: emerge -vuDU gui-libs/display-manager-init To start using the new init scripts, change the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in the /etc/conf.d/display-manager to your preferred DM: DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" and remove 'xdm' from the default runlevel and add 'display-manager': rc-update del xdm default rc-update add display-manager default The changes are complete and on the next reboot, 'display-manager' will start your chosen DM. To switch to the new scripts without rebooting, run the following commands in a tty: rc-service xdm stop rc-service display-manager start

Independent of this useful change, it's probably time to deprecate the amd64 17.0 profiles! -- Andreas K.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] profiles: Reorder AMD64 profile list to place 17.1 on top
Users frequently are choosing the wrong profile versions in new installs and accidentally downgrading to 17.0 with some saying they see it first. A simple reordering could help new installs. Since we do not guarantee ordering, any automated tooling concerns should not be an issue because the full profile name can always be used.
