+Title: OpenRC 0.22 updates
+Author: William Hubbs <williamh@gentoo.org>
+Content-Type: text/plain

+
+OpenRC 0.22 introduces the following changes:
+
+- In previous versions of OpenRC, configuration information was processed
+ so that service-specific configuration stored in /etc/conf.d/* was
+ overridden by global configuration stored in /etc/rc.conf. OpenRC 0.22
+ reverses that. Global configuration stored in /etc/rc.conf is read first
+ then overridden by configuration stored in /etc/conf.d/*.
+
+- The swapfiles service, which was basically a copy of the swap service,
+ has been removed. If you are only using local swap partitions, as
+ described in the handbook for example, this change will not affect you.
+ If you are using swap files or swap partitions on network-backed devices
+ such as iSCSI, please adjust the dependencies of the swap
+ service as shown in /etc/conf.d/swap to reflect your situation.
