William Hubbs closed bug #409385[1] as fixed, introducing |
| 2 |
virtual/service-manager and adding it to the @system set, and dropping |
| 3 |
OpenRC from baselayout's post dependencies. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Therefore, as of today, anyone can have a Gentoo machine with only |
| 6 |
systemd, with no OpenRC installed. Since that was the raison d'être of |
| 7 |
the gentoo-systemd-only overlay[2], I'm deprecating it soon. |
| 8 |
|

If you install dracut you will also pull sysvinit (it's needed for |
| 10 |
killall5, IIRC), and installing baselayout (instead of |
| 11 |
systemd-baselayout) will make orphans of some systemd configuration |
| 12 |
files (like /etc/vconsole.conf and /etc/machine-info); but I consider |
| 13 |
those only minor problems, and I would strongly recommend to *anyone* |
| 14 |
using my gentoo-systemd-only overlay to drop it and use the official |
| 15 |
mechanism in the tree to install only systemd, replacing completely |
| 16 |
OpenRC. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Also, without OpenRC we don't have /etc/init.d/functions.sh , but you |
| 19 |
can use the alternatives provided in my overlay or in bug #373219[3]. |
| 20 |
I'm pretty sure someone will close that bug pretty soon. |

Basically, systemd is now a first class citizen in Gentoo (on par with |
| 23 |
OpenRC), and therefore there is no need at all for using my overlay. |
| 24 |
Thanks to all the people who helped me with pull requests and |
| 25 |
comments; the deprecation of the overlay is great news, since now it's |
| 26 |
officially possible in Gentoo to ditch OpenRC and switch completely to |
| 27 |
systemd. |
