Very strange. Baselayout-2 and openrc are both keyword masked and
shouldn't be installed on a stable system. Which bits of
testing/bl2/openrc have you ended up with?
I would appear that its part of lvm and/or mdadm...but I just don't
know. Everything about BL2 is so hazy, its hard to tell. Basically I
have a crapped up system and I have a presentation tomorrow :P
So I'm in the process of a partial over the top install. Once it's
settled in, using the old portage tree that I know and love, I will be
very wary about any upgrades...and I may just leave it as it is.
I don't see how BL2 has affected me, for as you say it's all masked.
Would be nice if a portage sync alerted me to the fact that the devil is
now in control of the tree, and my system is likely to die at the
slightest emerge.
I guess the old adage is true, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. So I
won't be upgrading anything on my systems until this is a bit clearer.
