| 25 | <uri link="http://roy.marples.name/openrc">OpenRC</uri>, the replacement for |
| 26 | Gentoo's current services system (known as baselayout), will be stabilized |
| 27 | on May 8. It replaces the previous bash-only rc system in baselayout |
| 28 | with an rc system that has a C-based core and uses only POSIX-compliant shell |
| 29 | code. |
| 30 | </p> |
| 31 | |
| 32 | <p> |
| 33 | You will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to 2.x and a new package, |
| 34 | sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you perform this update as soon as |
| 35 | possible. |
| 36 | </p> |
| 37 | |
| 38 | <p> |
| 39 | <b>After these packages are emerged, it is absolutely critical that you |
| 40 | immediately update your configuration files with <uri |
| 41 | link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=3&chap=4">dispatch-conf, |
| 42 | etc-update</uri> or a similar tool then follow the steps in the <uri |
| 43 | link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml">OpenRC Migration |
| 44 | Guide</uri></b>. |
| 45 | </p> |
| 46 | |
| 47 | <p> |
| 48 | <b>Failure to follow all of these steps will result in an unbootable |
| 49 | system.</b> If that happens, you will need to boot from a LiveCD or LiveDVD, |
| 50 | mount your root filesystem, <uri |
| 51 | link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=6#doc_chap1">chroot |
| 52 | into that environment</uri> and follow the above steps. |
