31 It appears my migration plan was not good enough for Mike Frysinger
32 <vapier@g.o> and he went ahead and wrote his own version of the
33 OpenRC ebuild, differing from the one in the OpenRC layman repo, and
34 committed it to the tree this weekend.
35
36 Since my offer to work on the migration was not good enough for him, I'm
37 backing out and allowing him to handle the whole migration himself since
38 I haven't heard from him at all despite Roy (author of OpenRC) and my
39 attempts to contact him for 2 weeks regarding a migration plan for
40 OpenRC. All issues and comments can be directed to him.
41
42 I guess working together and documenting everything before having it hit
43 the tree was a bad plan and it had to be one-upped.
