[gentoo-dev] possible problems with baselayout-1.6.3 ?

[gentoo-dev] possible problems with baselayout-1.6.3 ?

[Martin Schlemmer]

hi

ok, due to sertain factors, i rather merged from baselayout-1.5.4 to
baselayout-1.6.3 (yes, i know not supported ;-))

now, i foresee a problem with baselayout-1.6.3's ebuild.
it does not create /etc/runlevels when merging with '/' as root, which
for merging from rc5 system is a problem, also if /etc/runlevels is
shot, removing it and remerging baselayout-1.6.3 could be an answer, but
not with the current .ebuild.

here is a proposed fix:

baselayout-1.6.3.ebuild.diff:

  	rm ${S}/init.d/runscript.c
  
  	#skip this if we are merging to ROOT
! 	[ "$ROOT" = "/" ] && return
  	
  	#set up default runlevel symlinks
  	local bar

  	rm ${S}/init.d/runscript.c
  
  	#skip this if we are merging to ROOT
! 	#[ "$ROOT" = "/" ] && return
! 	#only skip this if /etc/runlevels exists
! 	#can also be useful if updating from rc5 system 
! 	[ "$ROOT" = "/" ] && [ -d /etc/runlevels ] && return
  	
  	#set up default runlevel symlinks
  	local bar
