It's not a full baselayout competitor - instead it's reduced baselayout to providing key base files such as /etc/passwd. OpenRC is just the service management system. Yes Yes [1] A done deal [1] No [2] [1] The Gentoo Council and Gentoo base-system team know and approve of OpenRC. Mike Frysinger of the Gentoo base-system team also has commit access to the git repo. So it's very very likely. [2] I use busybox as a shell and can support it when it's internal start-stop-daemon applet disabled (as OpenRC has it's own variant). I don't and probably never will support vserver personally, but will work with Gentoo developers ensuring that at least one version works. In other words, I'll try and support it but it may break from time to time. Thanks Roy -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
