All, we are getting closer to being able to deprecate /etc/init.d/functions.sh, but I have a couple of questions I need input from this list about. They are in the comment of the bug [1].
The first is about /etc/init.d/functions.sh. That link is not needed at all by scripts in OpenRc. It was only there to provide backward compatibility for non-OpenRc scripts, which at the time, were gentoo tools only. So, should I change it in OpenRc from a symlink to a script that prints out an ewarn to let people know it will be deprecated? If so, I can't refer to anything that is gentoo related, so it would just say please stop sourcing this file. The second question is about the rc_nocolor variable. This is an undocumented variable which can be set in /etc/rc.conf to force OpenRc to not use color in its output. Is this something that should be carried over to gentoo-base-functions? Also, is it worth a config file in /etc for one variable? Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, William [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373219#C155
