Hello, |

This week I made progress with the compatibility layer which is the basis |
| 4 |
for running netifrc on non OpenRC systems. |
| 5 |
|

Detailed Report |
| 7 |
============ |
| 8 |
- Discussed the design further with @robbat2 and decided to remove e* |
| 9 |
functions from functions.sh and instead add gentoo-functions as a dependency |
| 10 |
- Changed the build process to include the new files and tested it locally. |
| 11 |
Subsequently fixed the errors that I could I find. |
| 12 |
- Updated the ebuild (maintained at |
| 13 |
https://github.com/rabisg/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-misc/netifrc) and |
| 14 |
added a systemd service file (To be tested) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Started with the compatibility layer: |
| 17 |
- Discussed the semantics of service_set_value and service_get_value at |
| 18 |
#openrc and also had a peek at openrc's codebase. |
| 19 |
- Finally decided that the best way to implement it using files in |
| 20 |
/run/netifrc similar to what is done by openrc |
| 21 |

Next week I plan to work on mimicing the stateful nature of OpenRC |
| 25 |
runscripts |
| 26 |
which is one of the most important part of this project. Once that is done, |
| 27 |
I would be able to test the code on Systemd. |
