Re: [gentoo-dev] openrc-0.8.1 stable candidate
All, The openrc stable candidate is now openrc-0.8.2-r1. The changes between it and the previous stable candidates are small, so the news item date and stable request date are still 2011/05/01 and 2011/05/08 respectively. The more important part of this test is that we need some users to migrate from baselayout-1 to openrc-0.8.2-r1 and be sure that is successful. As usual, let me know if there are any issues.

William I'm willing to test. Is it as simple the news item says? If there is a problem, can I simply go back to baselayout 1? I'm amd64 by the way. I also have a older x86 machine if that would help any. Let me know. Dale :-) :-)

I migrated a mostly-stable (so baselayout-1) amd64 server to baselayout-2.0.2 with openrc-0.8.2-r1 (both stabilized through packages.keywords), used etc-update and followed through the upgrade guide. The reboot went without a hitch (etc-update was also quite painless). Thanks for working on this, looking forward to getting this everywhere! Cheers, Dirkjan

We need some people who are still using baselayout-1 to migrate to baselayout-2 and openrc to make sure that still is successful. Also, we need developers to upgrade to openrc-0.8.1 and let us know if there are issues. Here is my plan, if there are no major issues. On 5/1, I will commit a news item which I will post later today for review. It was originally written by fauli, but I have reworded it slightly. Assuming that things go well, I will be pushing for stabilization of baselayout-2 and openrc on 5/8. This plan will also be posted on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295613 very shortly.

I would rather think baselayout-2/openrc simply extends and improves on baselayout-1. jer

That's true. Openrc is not really a full init system. It is a set of init scripts, with a large part of its functionality written in c instead of using shell scripts. In light of this, I have s/init system/init scripts/ in the news item. I will wait a few days and send it out again after I encorporate any other changes that come from the list.
