[gentoo-user] Baselayout2/OpenRC migration question - dispatch-conf vs etc-update

[Tanstaafl]

Hello,

Ok, I'm about to do the deed, but was concerned about one thing...

The migration guide only mentions using dispatch-conf after performing
the update...

I have only/always used etc-update for all the years I've been using
gentoo, and would really, REALLY prefer not to use a new/unfamiliar tool
during a procedure like this on a production server.

I'm hoping that this was just a minor oversight, and that etc-update is
fully supported as pr migration?

I used etc-update for mine and it went well.  I think that just shows 
the person writing the guide uses dispatch-conf.

Yes, absolutely. I use cfgupdate too.

There was an announcement on the gentoo-announce mailing list that
listed a few different docs for reference.  Among other things, the part
of interest in this discussion was:

After these packages are emerged, it is absolutely critical that you 
immediately update your configuration files with dispatch-conf, 
etc-update or a similar tool [2] then follow the steps in the OpenRC 
Migration Guide [3].

Like Dale, I used etc-update, and on two different laptops (one x86 and
one amd64), which worked without hitch on both.
