All, We got a request from Debian to rename the "rc" binary of OpenRC due to a naming conflict they have. They have a port of the at&t plan 9 shell, which has a binary named "rc" as well[1].
My thought is to rename our "rc" to "openrc", since that would be unique. I know at least one thing that will break is everyone's inittab, so should I sed their inittab in our live ebuild or expect them to fix it and give a warning? I know that once OpenRC with this change is released, it will need to probably be p.masked until there is a new release of sysvinit that updates the inittab. I'm not sure what else will break. Does anyone have any ideas wrt other things to look for, or should I make the changes upstream and have people let us know what else breaks? William [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493958
