Use baselayout-2. I use /bin/sh -> dash with baselayout-2 and have no |
8 |
problems with the following exceptions: |
9 |
|
10 |
1. Some /etc/init.d scripts of certain packages need patches (I already |
11 |
mailed several bugs with patches, but some are ignored; e.g. udftools |
12 |
still has no working init-file despite new releases and the open bug) |
13 |
So you have to be prepared to continue patching for many releases |
14 |
of some packages. |
15 |
Fortunately, not too many packages are involved (but on the other |
16 |
hand, I do not use too many packages with daemons, so maybe there |
17 |
are many I don't know about) |
18 |
|

2. "man" displays rubbish at the end of the page. As a workaround, |
20 |
I export MANPL=65535, but one should perhaps file a bug upstream. |
21 |
However, I cannot name the cause (but did not look very long for it |
22 |
either). |
23 |
|
24 |
3. There were some portage-related tools (but I forgot which one) |
25 |
which displayed textual escape sequences instead of colors |
26 |
(probably, because echo -e is not POSIX). However, this is |
27 |
only a cosmetical issue. |
