The shebang that openrc wants to see changed and many scripts haven't |
| 18 |
been updated. For some reason knonw only to gods and small pink fairies, |
| 19 |
a brilliant dev decided that spamming the users visibly at boot time was |
| 20 |
far preferable to a QA notice, which is what this really is. |

You could sed all your init.d /* shebangs to the correct script name, |
| 23 |
but they will just be reverted next time that package is updated. There |
| 24 |
was a longish thread on -dev a while back with mnay complaints about why |
| 25 |
are we spamming users for no reason? Why no news item? And the final |
| 26 |
result was no change. |

As to why your laptop and desktop do it differently, I suppose you have |
| 29 |
some tweak config behind it all. For now, just consider it magic and |
| 30 |
train your eye to ignore it because it really is harmless but annoying |
