The summary says most of it, but here goes: sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.14 removes the XSESSION variable from /etc/rc.conf, leaving in its place a note saying "XSESSION has moved to /etc/env.d/90xsession". However, that file does not exist. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.14. I upgraded from stable (1.12.13) Actual Results: XSESSION is removed from /etc/rc.conf and /etc/env.d/90xsession not created. Expected Results: XSESSION is moved to new file /etc/env.d/90xsession. $ emerge --info sys-apps/baselayout Portage 2.1.8.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.11.2-r0,

What's the acceptable solution for this? A better postinst message or an actual script to do the migration?

i'm of the same opinion.. To get this bug closed faster, I've got a bit of a script (below) that might help speed up the process... it only does the migration if no XSESSION has been set in /etc/env.d already and it exists in /etc/rc.conf #!/bin/sh if ! grep XSESSION -r /etc/env.d/* &>/dev/null; then if grep 'XSESSION=' /etc/rc.conf &>/dev/null; then sed -n 's/^[# ]*XSESSION=/&/p' /etc/rc.conf >/etc/env.d/90xsession fi fi
Any movement on this? It'd be really nice to have a baselayout-1 with an XSESSION that works, since current stable doesn't.
stable works fine if you configure your system. the point of the comment was to tell users where to place the new setting, not to automatically rewrite things for them. in fact, the xinit ebuild already tells people exactly that: http://bugs.gentoo.org/294999#c4 at this point, pretty much everyone has upgraded, so i dont see much value in trying to automate this migration
