Hi,

I have just emerged mysql, and I can't lauch it :(
It seems the init script is put in /etc/rc.d/init.d. Is that correct ??
I thought that all initscript should yet be put in /etc/init.d. If yes
we need to create one init script ... some more work :)

Ps : sorry to have sent this message on gentoo-ebuild list

I just had this problem too. Also with samba... I pointed the functions
link to the correct file, but it's also requesting a doservice function
which breaks. Any ideas on how we can get around this?

gentoo-rc6 needs different init scripts than rc5.  woodchip has updated 
some of these, but there are still a few hanging around.

A couple of notes on fixing them, until they are fixed in Portage

First, change the magic sequence at the top of the file (#!/sbin/...) to
#!/sbin/runscript

Then, get rid of any references to stuff in /etc/rc.d  This directory 
should no longer exist (feel free to rm -r it).  In general there should 
be no need to source external files.  Some scripts set some variables 
outside functions, and it is probably safe to leave such lines.  Then 
delete "doservice ${@}" if it is at the bottom of the script.

Finally add a depend function, if it is needed.  For instance, sshd 
works best if the network is started, so it has
depend() {
     need net
}

For the most part, the start,stop,restart functions can be left as-is.


Woodchip, I know you probably hate this, but it is a quick and dirty way 
to get those init scripts up and going in a pinch.
