26 Well, I know that portage provides env-update and env-update.sh. But an
27 older version of baselayout-2 did provide it (as a symbolic link to
28 /sbin/rc).

30 The question is, does Gentoo need env-update for proper booting? If yes,
31 how does baselayout-2 work around this, since it does not provide
32 env-update and does not depend upon portage? And how do you chroot into
33 a baselayout-2 environment, where portage is not installed?
34
35 To make a long question short, is it a bug, that recent baselayout-2
36 does not provide env-update?
