That said, masking big changes and calling for volunteers among the volunteers doesn't hurt. Seems like we need to be more careful with code that runs outside the sandbox. Config protection is nice, but it is useless when code runs outside the sandbox. Rich As one of those volunteer guinea pigs it all worked fine with the four ~x86 and three ~amd64 machines I've upgraded to openrc-0.12:0. They vary in when they were installed from 2005 up to a couple months ago and are generally updated daily. All ~x86 are servers (though most have X, KDE, and Gnome installed, they're only accessed remotely.) Two of the ~amd64 machines are desktops (though they both run services as servers.) If I can help narrow anything down further I'm happy to help. Or to test anything. Todd

Looks like they've solved the mystery: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481336 Sounds like if you modified the file BEFORE installing the previous version of openrc, it got removed, but if you modified it AFTER installing your previous openrc it would be kept.

In many cases, removing a package will not remove its config file. The ebuild doesn't touch it, as far as I can tell. But you are right, portage shouldn't remove a file if it has been changed, as far as I know. /etc/conf.d/net is not owned by any package anymore, so maybe that plays into it as well.

It was separated because it needs to be on its own development cycle, and it was a large chunk of the code base for OpenRC. Also, almost 1/3 of the OpenRC bugs are against this script. The documentation, as it is, is in /usr/share/doc/netifrc*.

[gentoo-user] OpenRc-0.12 is coming soon
All, This message is an announcement and a reminder. OpenRc-0.12 will be introduced to the portage tree in the next few days. If you are using ~arch OpenRc, the standard disclaimer applies: remember that you might be subject to breakage. I do not know of any breakage personally. It does work on my system, and I know of others who are using OpenRc from git successfully. Some are OpenRc team members, and at least one is a Gentoo user. If you are not comfortable with the possibility of breakage, I recommend that you make sure you do not upgrade right away. If, on the other hand, you are comfortable with that possibility and you are willing to help us test and get rid of bugs before we go stable, feel free to run ~arch. In other words, this is the standard Gentoo disclaimer, so consider yourself warned. Thanks much, William signature.asc Description: Digital signature
