So you're now advocating the check being |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
[ -f /etc/openrc-version -o -f /libexec/rc/version ] |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Way to go. |

The "innovation" here being shell scripts and text files are not 32/64 |
| 34 |
bit dependent and thus don't belong in a directory clearly marked as such. |

Eh? I just told you it does. To keep the status quo with /libexec/rc vs |
| 45 |
/lib/rc I provide a make knob. Now you want to move 1 specific file out |
| 46 |
of /lib/rc (because it could be in /lib64 or /lib32 and not in /lib) and |
| 47 |
into /etc because of the /lib brokenness. |
