The baselayout package provides files which all systems must have in |
| 14 |
order to function properly. You are currently using version 1.x, which |
| 15 |
has several issues. The most significant of these is that the included |
| 16 |
init scripts are written entirely in bash, which makes them slow and |
| 17 |
not very flexible. |
| 18 |
|

On 2011/05/08, you will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to |
| 20 |
2.x and a new package, sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you |
| 21 |
perform this update as soon as possible. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Please note, after these packages are emerged, it is |
| 24 |
__Absolutely_Critical__ that you immediately update your configuration |
| 25 |
files with dispatch-conf, etc-update or a similar tool then follow the |
| 26 |
steps in the migration guide located at the following URL. |

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN AN UNBOOTABLE |
| 30 |
SYSTEM! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEED TO BOOT FROM A LIVE CD OR |
| 31 |
DVD, MOUNT YOUR ROOT FILE SYSTEM, CHROOT INTO THAT ENVIRONMENT AND |
| 32 |
FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS! |
