Re: [gentoo-dev] Informations about Systemd Stage3 Image and Systemd profile

[Geaaru]

Thank you very much at all for informations.

So,

1) about dependency to /lib/gentoo/functions.sh currently this file is
owned by sys-apps/gentoo-functions so this means that we could replace
openrc from base file with gentoo-functions, right ?

2) about use of netifrc I see that on netifrc ebuild there are
dependencies to sys-apps/gentoo-functions and sys-apps/openrc so this
means a user that want use netifrc and install netifrc install
correctly openrc. I see only an issue maybe, that on RDEPEND is missing
block of sysv-utils use flag to avoid conflicts.

We think that could be acceptable send a pr to replace openrc with
gentoo-functions on /usr/portage/profiles/base/packages file ?

Thank you again.

G.
