OpenRC [1], the replacement for Gentoo's current services system (known as
baselayout), will be stabilized on May 8. It replaces the previous
bash-only rc system in baselayout with an rc system that has a C-based
core and uses only POSIX-compliant shell code.
You will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to 2.x and a new package,
sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you perform this update as soon
as possible.
After these packages are emerged, it is absolutely critical that you
immediately update your configuration files with dispatch-conf,
etc-update or a similar tool [2] then follow the steps in the OpenRC
Migration Guide [3].
Failure to follow all of these steps will result in an unbootable
system. If that happens, you will need to boot from a LiveCD or LiveDVD,
mount your root filesystem, chroot into that environment [4] and follow the
above steps.
