Hi folks,
I was curious, what's the results of the openrc update for people that
have done theirs? Is it pretty simple and "just works" or are there
issues? I'm mostly interested in x86 and amd64 since that is what I
have. Just a simple works here and I'm X86 or amd64 would be nice.
List issues if you had any.
For me, it just worked. But it took me well over two hours, and that was
after spending several hours studying the FM (practically memorising it,
actually). Things which threaten to make my PC unbootable have that
effect on me.
I was surprised by the number of config files which had changed (though
I was surprised not to see inittab amongst them). I had a few problems
with consolefont and keymaps, but that probably had to do with my
converting from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 the day before.
I take my hat off to Christian Faulhammer and William Hubbs, true
gentlemen, who took so much trouble to make a difficult transition so
smooth and easy.
Thanks for the feedback.

After reading some replies here, I did mine. It went well. I agree,
hats off to the folks who worked on this. Seems like their work paid
off very well. I just hope everyone else's is as easy as mine.
There was a LOT of config files to update. It appears that a LOT of it
was done during the update tho.
I'm just glad this is done. Sort of been dreading this.
