Is direct upgrade from previous baselayout-2.0.0-rcX going to be |
15 |
supported? I was running that for some time and just now added and |
16 |
upgraded to the via layman version. There's a blocker, of course, as |
17 |
openrc is now providing most of the files that baselayout did. |

The problem is that unmerging the old 2.0.0-rcX baselayout in ordered to |
20 |
resolve the blockage is SCARY, since it leaves the system basically |
21 |
unbootable until the new setup is merged and at least basically |
22 |
configured. There's also the issue of not knowing for sure just what's |
23 |
going to still be around in terms of config files and the like, since |
24 |
unmerging baselayout isn't exactly an everyday thing. |

FWIW, I took the jump anyway, and the etc-update seemed to go reasonably |
27 |
well, but I've not rebooted yet... |
