Is direct upgrade from previous baselayout-2.0.0-rcX going to be=20 supported? I was running that for some time and just now added and upgraded to the via layman version. There's a blocker, of course, as=20 openrc is now providing most of the files that baselayout did. The problem is that unmerging the old 2.0.0-rcX baselayout in ordered to=20 resolve the blockage is SCARY, since it leaves the system basically=20 unbootable until the new setup is merged and at least basically=20 configured. There's also the issue of not knowing for sure just what's=20 going to still be around in terms of config files and the like, since=20 unmerging baselayout isn't exactly an everyday thing. FWIW, I took the jump anyway, and the etc-update seemed to go reasonably=20 well, but I've not rebooted yet... --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
