[gentoo-user] baselayout and openrc issues from inside a vserver

[gentoo-user] baselayout and openrc issues from inside a vserver

[kashani]

	I've been putting off the openrc upgrade on my vserver account for some 
time and think it's finally come around to bite me.

Here's the info.

I don't run the host OS only the vserver. The latest changes to profiles 
depreciated my old profile last night so I updated. I'm now using 
/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/vserver as eic-sync suggested. 
The issue appears to be that baselayout-vserver has been masked by 
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask with this message.

- sys-apps/baselayout-vserver-1.11.14-r4 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# mask pending removal
# Benedikt Böhm <hollow@gentoo.org> (10 Jan 2009)
# baselayout-vserver is unmaintained and obsoleted by
# baselayout-2/openrc. please upgrade. removal in 30 days.

That makes sense, but my vserver profile has masked baselayout-2.

!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:
- sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/targets/vserver/package.mask:
# Benedikt Boehm <hollow@gentoo.org>
# Mask baselayout in vservers. Use baselayout-vserver instead!

I suspect I need to change my profile to something that isn't vserver, 
but I haven't been able to find any docs or post of how to proceed.

Or, you can just unmask the baselayout package and stay with the vserver
profile. Add the packages needed to /etc/portage/package.unmask. You will
probably have to add them to /etc/portage/package.keywords aswell as i think
they are still ~ARCH only.

If you not sure whats needed then emerge the program autounmask and that
will add all the entries (including any dependancies) automatically.

I think you should file a bug and see what the devs say. As far as I
see, default/linux/x86/vserver and default-linux/x86/vserver as well
as targets/vserver/ have not been touched for about 9 months now. 

Something is amiss with regards to vserver.

Our vserver team had this to say about it on -dev a few days ago.

So, you should probably migrate to the normal profiles as recommended
by the vserver howto:

Whoops, missed the link to the vserver howto:

Yeah I don't see any changes in the profliles now that you mention it so 
it must be this entry from /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask that 
started the problem.

# mask pending removal
# Benedikt Böhm <hollow@gentoo.org> (10 Jan 2009)
# baselayout-vserver is unmaintained and obsoleted by
# baselayout-2/openrc. please upgrade. removal in 30 days.
sys-apps/baselayout-vserver

If I comment that out, I can at least keep working on the system until I 
figure out which way to proceed.

Unfortunately that doc isn't very up to date or very well written. Hell 
the mentioned baselayout 1.13 doesn't even exist in portage.

It appears that I should.

1. Change profile from vserver to server so I don't have to go mucking 
about in package.mask
2. emerge -C baselayout-vserver && emerge baselayout-2 openrc
3. clean up openrc baselayout issues.
4. Make backups, restart, and hope it doesn't explode.

That sound about right?

The other side is that I have no control over the host OS, I just pay 
for a hosted vserver. Is any of this goes to have issues if I update the 
  quest and the host is not aware?

Dont edit anything inside of /usr/portage as it will get wiped out the next
time you sync.
If you want to unmask openrc and baselayout then use
/etc/portage/package.unmask and /etc/portage/package.keywords.

Make sure you read the OpenRC migration guide or you risk severely hosing
your system!
