That was what I recalled about the openrc discussion too. It is coming |
38 |
but just not sure when. Me, I'm not switching until it starts getting |
39 |
closer to that time. It, like some of the newer versions of portage, |
40 |
appears to be stable and is used by many people but is not marked stable |
41 |
yet. Both of those sort of confuse me sometimes. |
42 |
|
43 |
I'm just hoping that when the switch comes, it is painless. |
