Even with openrc still in @system? Doesn't look like that bug has been |
| 17 |
fixed yet.[1] |

With openrc still in @system, that's probably the way it'll need to be |
| 24 |
handled, tho ideally everything that needs it will be RDEPENDing on it by |
| 25 |
now in preparation for removing openrc from @system, so nothing will |
| 26 |
break. |

[1] I've had my entire @system negated in /etc/portage/profiles/packages |
| 30 |
since long before I switched to systemd, and after symlinking |
| 31 |
/etc/init.d/functions.sh -> /lib/gentoo/functions.sh, I unmerged openrc. |
| 32 |
So to see if it was in the normal @system I had to manually check if |
| 33 |
openrc was still starred in a packages file any of the broadly sourced |
| 34 |
profiles and it is, in base, with the only negations in the prefix and |
| 35 |
freebsd profiles. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Obviously nothing I run breaks without any of the other files openrc |
| 38 |
provided, but that doesn't mean nothing else in the tree does. |
