After some openrc updates now I have this situation... net.vserver net.vserver.openrc.bak net.vserver.openrc.bak.openrc.bak net.vserver.openrc.bak.openrc.bak.openrc.bak net.vserver.openrc.bak.openrc.bak.openrc.bak.openrc.bak I think openrc should stop itself after the first .openrc.bak :)
That's fair enough. It's also expected the user properly checks and sets up their system. You should review your net setup and delete those backups once you've migrated anything special over.
My /etc/init.d/net.eth0 symlink disappeared during the update to openrc. Noted comment that the administrator should sanity-check, but could we also stick a specific reminder in the openrc-migration.xml page to check the net.* symlinks so this doesn't catch me (and others) out when openrc goes to stable and I'm upgrading my colo box with no serial console? :-) I don't know if it was relevant but there were a couple of other defunct net.* symlinks in my /etc/init.d (ie: they weren't in any runlevels); those were left alone by the upgrade. The symlink /etc/runlevels/default/net.eth0 remained, but pointed nowhere. Simply restoring the symlink fixes it for me. I just know I'm going to forget about this when it goes stable :-)
I also have had my net.eth0 deleted on almost every box I have done the upgrade on. I thinking it is a bug in the ebuid somewhere, because I haven't had this issue on the one box I have openrc-9999 on.
The original reported bug has been fixed. comments #2 and #3 are related to a documentation issue and the fixes for that have been submitted to the docs team.
