The biggest part of the migration is running dispatch-conf, etc-update |
| 18 |
or another configuration file updater and accepting all of the openrc |
| 19 |
changes. Most of the stuff in the migration guide is just directing |
| 20 |
you to verify changes that the openrc ebuild has made and telling you |
| 21 |
which configuration files may need to be altered to match your system. |
| 22 |
I'm not sure how to script passed any of that. |
