It means anything set on a general level is superceded by more specific |
| 16 |
rules. So if FOO="bar" in say make.conf but you need $FOO to be "baz" |
| 17 |
for <service>, OpenRC will choose the value in /etc/conf.d/service |
| 18 |
instead of wherever the general variable is set (/etc/rc.conf ? Not sure) |
| 19 |

It's pretty standard for most pieces of software, so it's bound to be a |
| 21 |
welcome change that will avoid some potential config bugs. |
