yeah.. I scanned that bug, saw his arguments, but didn't see anything afterwards that seemed to address his arguments (nor anything that specifically addressed the removal of /etc/init.d/functions.sh as the de-facto location). Don't get me wrong, i think it is very pertinent to install the actual "lib" elsewhere, but since this is still the de-facto location we should have a symlink. > No, I don't think gentoo-functions should take over the symbolic > link in /etc/init.d/functions.sh; that needs to stay with OpenRc. > My plan there is to work that into a script that prints a warning > message.

As you've said yourself, nothing related to openrc uses /etc/init.d/functions.sh; if everything else in the tree is going to use the new gentoo-functions "lib", why wouldn't custom end-user scripts too? (again, scanned the bug, didn't see anything relevant to this) >> Also, just to confirm, this new path is compatible with the >> einfo package used as part of Prefix, yes?

This is something that should probably be managed, then, before the migration to gentoo-functions is completed -- anyone here from th prefix team, that wants to weigh in? Will gentoo-functions work in prefix (well enough to replace einfo)? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlMgXdIACgkQ2ugaI38ACPCseAD/VLbvGkzN53hx8Z0C9xOHlJxe VOZu39w+HQhVa5V6vGMA/A+zmmnKjMV1pqJSgCJhgClBu7Ms9QeauZKcvjeKddqx =Ozpu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
