[gentoo-dev-announce] Transitioning from #!/sbin/runscript to,#!/sbin/openrc-run

Hi there,

I've been working on the transition from #!/sbin/runscript to
#!/sbin/openrc-run [1], by starting on the maintainer-needed packages.
That's done (aside from some stabilizations needed, but I'll deal with that
latter). The trouble is that there are roughly 700 packages that need to
be updated, and that's an insane number of bugs to file.

So, instead, I'm going to give developers to two weeks to update their
initscripts or ask me not to touch it. On/after 2016/05/18, I'll update
initscripts/copyrights, but will leave revbumping to maintainer's discretion.

Thanks,
Austin

I've updated everything in the tree to use #!/sbin/openrc-run. The
/sbin/runscript symlink still remains for now, don't worry. I plan to
add checks in repoman/qa checks in the near future to prevent the
deprecated shebang from creeping back in.

Maintainers, please revbump your packages at your discretion.

Thanks!
Austin
