[gentoo-dev] doenvd vs. insinto /etc/env.d

[gentoo-dev] doenvd vs. insinto /etc/env.d

[Marcelo Góes]

Hello,

I just did a quick grep of the tree and found 129 ebuilds that
use doenvd and 134 that use insinto /etc/env.d.

As far as I can see, doenvd is more correct because it is
1) cleaner and easier to read
2) more portable (for systems that use something other than
/etc/env.d, for example)

Does it make sense to allow both styles?
Is it worth it to convert everything to doenvd?

Cheers,
Marcelo

doenvd was written specifically to replace `insinto /etc/env.d`

There are probably also lot of things using insinto /etc/init.d and
/etc/conf.d too that should be fixed.

Stupid question... what's the diff between doconfd and newconfd?
