1 All,
2
3 for bug 373219 [1], we are working on providing a functions.sh that does
4 not rely on OpenRc so that people who are not using OpenRc can
5 completely remove it from their systems.
6
7 I can now report that gentoo-functions has been added to the tree. Also,
8 I have opened a tracker [2] that explains how to change packages that
9 source /etc/init.d/functions.sh. They should first check for the
10 existence of /lib/gentoo/functions.sh and source that. If it doesn't
11 exist, they should source /etc/init.d/functions.sh. Also, do not add
12 hard dependencies to your packages on gentoo-functions. The goal is to
13 add gentoo-functions to @system once it is stable.
14
15 The quickest way to find things that will need this fix is to rm
16 /etc/init.d/functions.sh and file bugs against things that break and
17 make them block the tracker.
18
19 If you have any questions, let me know.

21 Thanks,
