I was scratching my head over some of these warnings, wondering why no one has fixed some of them yet. For the less-used packages, such as sys-apps/timer_entropyd, without a revbump, I'd not have thought that simply re-merging the package on all of my systems would update the init script and make the warning go away. IMHO, such a change *should* have been a revbump, and, if that was the only change to that package, that revbump should have gone straight to stable since it doesn't really represent a significant change (and issues regarding such a change should have already been worked out). OTOH, if there were other things that could be fixed in a package, then pack this change into the rest and follow the normal stabilization process. As for the "--quiet --quiet" bit...that's a bit obtuse. The message being output is only using an "ewarn", so it's not a critical error and should have been squelched with the first --quiet. I'd either update the message to an "eerror" to get attention or add a note about the double-quiets somewhere (or add a new switch, --stfu, to do the job ). -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS kumba@gentoo.org 6144R/F5C6C943 2015-04-27 177C 1972 1FB8 F254 BAD0 3E72 5C63 F4E3 F5C6 C943 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
