The biggest part of the migration is running dispatch-conf, etc-update |
18 |
or another configuration file updater and accepting all of the openrc |
19 |
changes. Most of the stuff in the migration guide is just directing |
20 |
you to verify changes that the openrc ebuild has made and telling you |
21 |
which configuration files may need to be altered to match your system. |

I'm not sure how to script passed any of that. |
