The problem is we have two different API's. Gentoo's API for tools that |
| 8 |
do not involve booting, and OpenRC's API. In the past, they were |
| 9 |
identical, but that isn't the case now. |

That is why I haven't removed /etc/init.d/functions.sh. That is actually |
| 12 |
part of OpenRC's public API now. |

I can deprecate it. To do so, I would need to have it print out a |
| 15 |
deprecation warning that would be wrong for Gentoo in the next release. |

|

That warning would have to tell users to source |
| 18 |
/lib*/rc/sh/functions.sh. |

Thoughts? |
