[gentoo-dev] newsitem: OpenRC runscript transition

All,

here is a newsitem about the OpenRC runscript transition.

The glep says this should wait 72 hours before being pushed, but since
it is already in stable, if no one objects, I would like to push it
sooner, and if I do, I'll update the posted date to reflect this.

William

Title: OpenRC runscript transition
Author: William Hubbs <williamh@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2016-08-25
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: <sys-apps/openrc-0.22

Starting with OpenRC 0.21.3, service script authors should use
#!/sbin/openrc-run instead of #!/sbin/runscript to start their scripts.
The following message will be displayed for each service on your system
which is not updated:

 * <scriptpath> uses runscript, please convert to openrc-run.

This message is not fatal; your system will boot normally.

To silence most of the messages, you can run the following command as root:

# emerge /etc/init.d

The remaining packages (netifrc and udev-init-scripts as of this
writing) have newer versions in the unstable tree with the fix, and are
in the process of being stabilized.

Maybe it's a bit late as 0.21.3 is already stable and, then, people
won't get the news item if they already updated :/

Probably "oneshot" emerge would be preferred and, then, "emerge -1
/etc/init.d" would be better I think

Cannot that packages being stabilized then instead of "suggesting"
implicitly to the people to manually keyword "random" newer versions
and, also, accepting that were are too slow stabilizing that things? (I
would try to stabilize it at least for amd64... in my case I cannot
test as I run systemd... but it shouldn't be too hard to find some dev
or user able to test in that arch at least)

Also, if the downside of not re-emerging the packages is only a
warning, I would note that people can avoid (if they can live with the
message) the re-emerge (and wait for normal updates) for the case they
want to avoid re-emerging so many packages just now :/

Thanks :)
