I already provide documentation with commands in example config files and man |
| 7 |
pages that cover nearly every aspect on OpenRC and all it's commands. |

The nice thing about not being a Gentoo dev means I don't feel the urge to |
| 10 |
write a migration how to. However, here's a really good primer. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
1) Install OpenRC |
| 13 |
2) Review all updated files in /etc/conf.d/ and /etc/rc.conf [1] [2] |
| 14 |
3) If using a "volume" such as LVM, you'll find an appropriate init script |
| 15 |
in /etc/init.d that you need to add to the boot runlevel. |
| 16 |
4) Carry on as normal [3] |

[1] The case of variable names has been changed from UPPER to lower. This is |
| 23 |
for a few reasons (removes confusion vs environment vars, looks nicer). |
| 24 |
However, *existing* UPPER case vars should still work. |
| 25 |
[2] Paludis users will need to ensure that the init scripts checkfs and |
| 26 |
checkroot are removed. I don't care whose "bug" this is, but neither side |
| 27 |
wants to fix it. |
| 28 |
[3] A reboot is currently needed as for some reason state data isn't migrated |
| 29 |
from baselayout-1. This is probably due to OpenRC being split from baselayout |
| 30 |
and the code is pretty much the same here. Maybe some plucky Gentoo ebuild |
| 31 |
dev can step up and fix it. |
