[gentoo-user] Metalog & runscript

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
	I'm still getting the warning during boot about metalog using runscript 
during the boot process. I decided to track things down and see what was 
going on. My first stop was bugs.gentoo.org where there is this one:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581926

	Upon reading this, I would have thought that the ebuild had been 
updated with the supplied patch by the developers. I looked at the 
ebuild on my machine and it still is the "older" one. 
Packages.gentoo.org has the same ebuild as me.

	Has something just fallen through the cracks and things should have 
been "officially" updated or do I need to apply this patch myself?

	Thoughts?

		Andrew

The patch was applied to the initscript, but the ebuild was not
revbumped. You'll have to reinstall the package to get the new
initscript. You can rebuild all packages that use /sbin/runscript with:
`emerge --oneshot -av $(grep -l '/sbin/runscript' /etc/init.d/*)'
This was mentioned in a newsitem draft on gentoo-dev, but as far as I
can tell that newsitem was never published.

I ended up writing an ed(1) script below to edit the init scripts affected:
sed '
/convert/!d
s:^[^/]*::
s: .*::
' /var/log/rc.log |
sort -u |
while read file
do
echo e $file
echo w $HOME/tmp/`basename $file`.runscript
echo g/runscript/s//openrc-run/
echo w
done | ed -

Running the script above without piping it through to ed first prints
the editing commands that would be run without actually running them.

The script below runs the diff on the original files that have been
backed up by the script above and the ones just been edited.

ls $HOME/tmp/*.runscript |
sed '
s/^/diff -u /
h
s:.*/\(.*\)\..*:/etc/init.d/\1:
H
g
y/\n/ /
' | sh
