As a follow up for everyone. Mike and I have completed openrc-0.2 and 
baselayout-2.0.0 ebuilds. They're in the tree and ready for consumption. 
They are currently masked while we wait for all arches to match ~arch of 
current baselayout. Tracker bug for this is #214957 [1].

 Currently OpenRC does not support per-version-per-module arguments. What

i'd assume logically extended based on existing behavior.  Roy's done it now

not sure why you're getting pissy.  but let's put some things straight shall 
we.


- the ebuild in question was from the layman repo.  i changed things of course 
because it didnt cover all upgrade pieces, had obvious style problems, and 
did some things wrongly.
  
You mean it wasn't bash style and instead was functional POSIX shell 
style. And by all upgrade paths would that include adding the bad 
conversion of /etc/modules.autoload.d/ and removing important ewarn msgs 
to users?



- i'd been poking openrc on my system long before this weekend.
  
Great. And have you been working with the docs people or the arch teams 
and with the Gentoo/FreeBSD guys? Because some of your changes might 
work on your system, but not on other systems


- only pinging people on irc does not constitute real effort.  we have e-mail 
addresses too last i checked.
  
Refresh your mail client because I did send you e-mail. And as far as I 
know, Roy did too.


- the package is still p.masked and de-keyworded.  nothing precludes you from 
working on it.  or writing docs.  or doing anything else you're talking about 
doing.
- and no, i dont have a problem sticking masked/de-keyworded things in the 
tree.  people test things then.

-mike
  
It's called teamwork, Mike. It also looks awful suspicious when we don't 
hear a peep out of you about OpenRC until 1 day before I was going to 
add it to the tree. What would have been so hard about sending a follow 
up e-mail to the thread I started about getting OpenRC in the tree 
saying Hey everyone, going to stick openrc- in the tree now with 
some changes I feel should be made.

The same goes for our existing documentation. Until the new baselayout

baselayout-1 content. The last thing I want is to fork our documentation

  [1] The case of variable names has been changed from UPPER to lower. This is
  for a few reasons (removes confusion vs environment vars, looks nicer).
  However, *existing* UPPER case vars should still work.
  [2] Paludis users will need to ensure that the init scripts checkfs and
  checkroot are removed. I don't care whose bug this is, but neither side
  wants to fix it.
  [3] A reboot is currently needed as for some reason state data isn't 
  migrated
  from baselayout-1. This is probably due to OpenRC being split from 
  baselayout
  and the code is pretty much the same here. Maybe some plucky Gentoo ebuild
  dev can step up and fix it.
 
 You missed the whole /etc/modules.autoload.d/* - /etc/conf.d/modules
 but I already discussed that with Josh for the guide. ;)

Maybe the XSESSION variable disappearing from /etc/rc.conf and the
changed settings in /etc/conf.d/clock are worth consideration too!

[gentoo-dev] OpenRC baselayout-2 meets Gentoo

2008-03-19 Thread Doug Goldstein

All,

This is a formal notice to everyone that OpenRC will be hitting the 
Gentoo tree sooner rather then later. I would like to see *ALL* arch 
teams give the current code a whirl on their systems, which is available 
via the layman module openrc.


I would also like to give the docs team a chance to weigh in here and 
work with me on a migration guide as well as any necessary updates.


That being said, I will be the primary point of contact on the 
transition to OpenRC appearing in ~arch (along with it's associated 
baselayout-2.0.0 ebuild). Any and all grievances, concerns, suggestions 
and comments can and should be routed to me via the associated Bugzilla 
entries or e-mail.


I do not want OpenRC to come as a surprise to anyone and break their 
system. I expect we will leave no stone unturned and go for a very 
smooth transition.


That being said, the bug for the addition of OpenRC is #212696 [1]. The 
bug for the documentation is #213988 [2].


Lastly, I will be out of town March 21st through March 23rd. I will not 
have IRC access but I will have e-mail and Bugzilla access.
