yes, but in this case, eselect is closely bound to what version |
| 17 |
(baselayout-1 vs openrc vs ...) is installed so that it can manage the |
| 18 |
init.d scripts and runlevels. as soon as the init code changes |
| 19 |
drastically, then the eselect module does as well. i think this is a |
| 20 |
different beast than what most every other external script is using it |
| 21 |
for. |
