A bit more background.  These messages are really targeted more at
package maintainers, but they're made user-visible because not all
packages are well-maintained.  Also, since openrc is no longer used by
all Gentoo users there may be package maintainers that simply don't
ever see the message.

When you see a new message like this I'd suggest doing the following:
1.  Give it a few days, just to let maintainers fix things on their
own without being hassled.
2.  Check to see if it is fixed in a more recent package version.  If
it is, most likely the maintainer just doesn't want to make everybody
rebuild things and they plan for you to get the fix whenever the next
version is deployed.
3.  Check to see if a bug is already open for your package.  If not,
go ahead and create one.  Anytime you check for an existing bug, look
for recently-closed ones too.

Usually these errors are put in place many months before anything is
expected to break, and then before actually breaking anything there is
a discussion on -dev, tracker bugs, and so on.  So, don't panic, but
it never hurts to log a bug if the issue isn't already resolved.

The init script must be changed to use openrc-run, your action will be to
update dbus as usual. Or better, open a bug report so that the init script
will be updated.


[gentoo-user] runscript is deprecated; please use openrc-run instead

2015-08-26 Thread Mick
I've noticed this during booting:

 * runscript is deprecated; please use openrc-run instead.
 * Starting D-BUS system messagebus ...
 * start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/run/dbus.pid': No such file or directory
 * Detaching to start `/usr/bin/dbus-daemon' ...
 [ ok ]
 * runscript is deprecated; please use openrc-run instead.


Is this a warning of things to come, or should I change my settings somewhere?

Google it.

There is nothing to worry about. runscript still exists, you still have
it and it works exactly the way it always did. It is not obsolete or
deleted, it is deprectaed.

Please Google the software term "deprecate", you need to learn how this
part of ecosystems work. No answer to any question you have asked will
make sense till you have this background information

Because the message say deprecated, which means it will continue to work
for now but support will be dropped at some time in the future. If the
init script in question is one of your own, you need to fix it, otherwise
wait for the maintainer to fix it.

When the message changes from deprecated to obsolete, then it is time to
worry.

Some (older) service startup script is starting with a:

#!/sbin/runscript

shebang, instead of the openrc equivalent:

#!/sbin/openrc-run


If you look in your /etc/init.d/ scripts you will see that there quite a few 
that still start with the runscript shebang.

Eventually ebuilds will update their startup scripts to use the openrc syntax, 
unless systemd takes over the world and openrc is abandoned.

No, because after it eats your kittens it will drink your beer.  We can't have 
that!

Thank you for your answer but why that message appear at all, then?

Sorry, but I do not understand the word "shebang" in this context.

Well, it is a good news for me. :)

I mostly run stable system and have only two unstable packages, namely,
vimb and google-chrome. Hopefully, they do not influence booting in any way. :)

sys-apps/openrc-0.13.11

So far, no noticeable effects accept for the warning message above.

Shall I wait for that to happen before starting to worry? :)

Do nothing.

runscript is the shebang for init scripts for various services,
runscript and openrc-run are both provided by openrc.

Any change to be made is done by the ebuild.

p.s. when asking for help please provide relevant information, such as
do you run a satble or unstable system, what versions of related
software are installed and most important - what effect if any does the
problem have? I can't tell if your system boots normally or if it blows
up and eats your kittens.

Quite for a long time, while booting my Gentoo system,
I get the following message message:

"runscript is deprecated; please use openrc-run instead"

What shall I do to fix this issue accept for reinstallig
my Gentoo system anew?
