18 +Title: Baselayout update

26 +
27 +The baselayout package provides files which all systems must have in
28 +order to function properly. You are currently using version 1.x, which
29 +has several issues. The most significant of these is that the included
30 +init scripts are written entirely in bash, which makes them slow and
31 +not very flexible.
32 +
33 +On 2011/05/08, you will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to
34 +2.x and a new package, sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you
35 +perform this update as soon as possible.
36 +
37 +Please note, after these packages are emerged, it is
38 +__Absolutely_Critical__ that you immediately update your configuration
39 +files with dispatch-conf, etc-update or a similar tool then follow the
40 +steps in the migration guide located at the following URL.
41 +http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml
42 +
43 +FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN AN UNBOOTABLE
44 +SYSTEM! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEED TO BOOT FROM A LIVE CD OR
45 +DVD, MOUNT YOUR ROOT FILE SYSTEM, CHROOT INTO THAT ENVIRONMENT AND
46 +FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS!
