You are currently using version 1.x, which +has several issues. The most significant of these is that the included +init scripts are written entirely in bash, which makes them slow and +not very flexible. + +On 2011/05/08, you will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to +2.x and a new package, sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you +perform this update as soon as possible. + +Please note, after these packages are emerged, it is +__Absolutely_Critical__ that you immediately update your configuration +files with dispatch-conf, etc-update or a similar tool then follow the +steps in the migration guide located at the following URL. +http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml + +FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN AN UNBOOTABLE +SYSTEM! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEED TO BOOT FROM A LIVE CD OR +DVD, MOUNT YOUR ROOT FILE SYSTEM, CHROOT INTO THAT ENVIRONMENT AND +FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS! diff --git a/metadata/news/2011-05-01-baselayout-update/2011-05-01-baselayout-update.en.txt.asc b/metadata/news/2011-05-01-baselayout-update/2011-05-01-baselayout-update.en.txt.asc new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..2d26fedf81d1 --- /dev/null +++ b/metadata/news/2011-05-01-baselayout-update/2011-05-01-baselayout-update.en.txt.asc @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) + +iEYEABECAAYFAk29qS4ACgkQblQW9DDEZTirrwCfckYo58Afhu72Nq+/IuRMy0J6 +vz4An3WBBCPZPV2ViEoszjssk54sOuke +=ZZvG +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
