+Title: Migration to sys-apps/systemd-utils |

+The sys-apps/systemd-utils package was recently added to the gentoo |
| 23 |
+repository. This replaces sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles, sys-boot/systemd-boot, |
| 24 |
+and sys-fs/udev with a single package. USE flags are provided to allow each |
| 25 |
+component to be enabled or disabled. |
| 26 |
+ |
| 27 |
+When upgrading to sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles-250, |
| 28 |
+sys-apps/systemd-utils[tmpfiles] will be pulled in as a dependency. |
| 29 |
+ |
| 30 |
+When upgrading to sys-boot/systemd-boot-250, sys-apps/systemd-utils[boot] will |
| 31 |
+be pulled in as a dependency. |
| 32 |
+ |
| 33 |
+When upgrading to sys-fs/udev-250, sys-apps/systemd-utils[udev] will be pulled |
| 34 |
+in as a depenendecy. |
| 35 |
+ |
| 36 |
+At a later date, sys-apps/systemd-tmpfiles, sys-boot/systemd-boot, and |
| 37 |
+sys-fs/udev will be masked for removal once a suitable version of |
| 38 |
+sys-apps/systemd-utils has been marked stable and sufficient time has been |
| 39 |
+provided for users to migrate. |
| 40 |
+ |
| 41 |
+Possible problems when upgrading: |
| 42 |
+ |
| 43 |
+1. If sys-fs/eudev is present in the world file (@selected), emerge will abort |
| 44 |
+ the upgrade with a unsolvable blocker error. To resolve this, either remove |
| 45 |
+ sys-fs/eudev from the world file, or disable the 'udev' USE flag on |
| 46 |
+ sys-apps/systemd-utils. |
| 47 |
+ |
| 48 |
+2. The 'boot' USE flag on sys-apps/systemd-utils is disabled by default. Users |
| 49 |
+ migrating from sys-boot/systemd-boot will need to enable the 'boot' use |
| 50 |
+ flag to continue receiving updates. |
