If so, can you start the daemon manually? There isn't any specific project policy on keywording ebuilds with init scripts, but I can say that there are ebuilds in the tree that are keyworded ~ppc-macos (again, not stable) even though they have init scripts which obviously do not work yet. This wasn't my decision, but I can agree partly with the rationale - init script functionality is a problem with baselayout and hopefully can be solved once and for all in baselayout. Additionally, packages with init scripts may be completely functional otherwise, so I can see a decision not to support init scripts on Gentoo for OS X currently as a decision to remove consideration of said init scripts from our evaluation of packages. > In the light of all these problems, I propose to keep openafs > unkeyworded for ppc-macos for now.

Nobody is telling you what to do or not to do. Personally, I don't use openAFS, so I wouldn't know what to do with it anyways. > > Please someone from the list, respond in either way on my proposal > here to have some more weight into this discussion. Basically to recap: if the package works as expected without init script functionality, then based on our previous behavior, I would be in favor of keywording it ~ppc-macos. I would not support moving it to ppc-macos until we have support for init scripts. That being said, I don't consider adding support for this package a priority until a user asks for such support.
