8 A bit more background. These messages are really targeted more at
9 package maintainers, but they're made user-visible because not all
10 packages are well-maintained. Also, since openrc is no longer used by
11 all Gentoo users there may be package maintainers that simply don't
12 ever see the message.

14 When you see a new message like this I'd suggest doing the following:
15 1. Give it a few days, just to let maintainers fix things on their
16 own without being hassled.
17 2. Check to see if it is fixed in a more recent package version. If
18 it is, most likely the maintainer just doesn't want to make everybody
19 rebuild things and they plan for you to get the fix whenever the next
20 version is deployed.
21 3. Check to see if a bug is already open for your package. If not,
22 go ahead and create one. Anytime you check for an existing bug, look
23 for recently-closed ones too.

25 Usually these errors are put in place many months before anything is
26 expected to break, and then before actually breaking anything there is
27 a discussion on -dev, tracker bugs, and so on. So, don't panic, but
28 it never hurts to log a bug if the issue isn't already resolved.
