What I can say is: The rc_parallel (so starting services parallel) feature needs some love. There are some issues re service dependencies, locking etc. https://bugs.gentoo.org/391945 https://bugs.gentoo.org/360013 and some more. We also have some issues with links of init scripts: There are a lot of other "major" and minor bugs. See http://preview.tinyurl.com/openrc-bugs You can also ask us via IRC if you want (just stay longer, remind the different timezones so it may take some time till one replies :P) -- Regards, Christian Ruppert Gentoo Linux developer, Bugzilla administrator and Infrastructure member Fingerprint: EEB1 C341 7C84 B274 6C59 F243 5EAB 0C62 B427 ABC8 --nextPart7387648.m4enF6gBBg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAABCAAGBQJO73hvAAoJEMOx0zmdw4Z1u1wIAK6QVRON2hmQnoo3yXQsqbNo Usye7b8qFo8Wf51f5Lz13sLuvA3H9NpmvXNcJbBu/X6dqKZT2KhCZfB8CRxAK0j7 bQemURJ0QdrEiz390bdmbT8V+AYFZRrj84Ad4WrNkXQiVRc5g0/fg7CwhCZJ26Or bBCwszRk6uPXJcP6ElPnpijBp8ctfQawzTQh5ppjI9RtThzGBoyH+CrL6VP0DCC2 CZgsfSHvQuQ245W+GUWIicf2RyhqICRDT/zoYaZIPpTSGqt8tQcFFen2a8X/s7K/ 5bByhALiFrf+YeuYdJ/Ba1PMw4Nwf8KA+rEQBbaQRtYD/2cej146i0MqCmxuTmE= =EHn7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart7387648.m4enF6gBBg--
