You will likely pull in the 'new' OpenRC ebuild during your update |
| 14 |
process (sys-apps/open-rc i believe). Watch out for this! |

If you merge it you must make sure all your configs are up to date in |
| 17 |
/etc or your server won't come back following a restart (etc-update, |
| 18 |
dispatch-conf, etc.). You'll want to move over any settings in |
| 19 |
/etc/conf.d/rc to /etc/rc.conf. |
