All, |

We got a request from Debian to rename the "rc" binary of OpenRC due to |
| 4 |
a naming conflict they have. They have a port of the at&t plan 9 shell, |
| 5 |
which has a binary named "rc" as well[1]. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
My thought is to rename our "rc" to "openrc", since that would be |
| 8 |
unique. |

I know at least one thing that will break is everyone's inittab, so |
| 11 |
should I sed their inittab in our live ebuild or expect them to fix it |
| 12 |
and give a warning? I know that once OpenRC with this change is |
| 13 |
released, it will need to probably be p.masked until there is a new |
| 14 |
release of sysvinit that updates the inittab. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I'm not sure what else will break. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Does anyone have any ideas wrt other things to look for, or should I |
| 19 |
make the changes upstream and have people let us know what |
| 20 |
else breaks? |
