Since in bootsplash-0.6-r12 /etc/conf.d/bootsplash.conf has been renamed to /etc/conf.d/bootsplash (to fit the standard /etc/conf.d/ naming scheme), all references to bootsplash.conf in functions.sh should be updated. I've also noticed that the silent Bootsplash doesn't work on system reboot/shutdown with recent versions of rc-scripts. I'm attaching a patch against the latest released version of rc-scripts to fix both functions.sh and the silent splash problems.
Created attachment 28046 [details, diff] the patch for rc-scripts
Created attachment 28052 [details, diff] a new rc-scripts patch I've just made a few more changes to the rc-scripts. I added the done_start and done_step bootsplash events. These new events will be used for boot animations, which will be introduced in the next bootsplash release. The done* events are the ones which update the progress bar status, the old start and stop events are only used to signal bootsplash to start animations. Please note that this will break old bootsplash releases, so plz let me know before new base-layout is relased so that I could commit the new bootsplash ebuild to CVS.
Thanks Spock, I applied the first half of this patch (or a version thereof). For the remainder, could you please do the following: 1. supply a patch that fixes the current problems that I can apply immediately. I'm not familiar enough with the bootsplash stuff to be able to differentiate. Please make the patch against current cvs gentoo-src/rc-scripts/sbin/functions.sh 2. Figure out a way to make the upgrade path seamless. You say that "this will break old bootsplash releases" but that isn't acceptable unless it's absolutely required. Instead you should include some logic so that both old and new versions will work. Since the done_* stuff is all handled by splash_update, you might consider putting the compatibility logic there so that the rest of the code is clean.
How would we feel about moving bootsplash out of the /sbin/functions.sh and it's it's own support file that gets sourced in by functions.sh if it exists?
Sounds delicious to me

Ok, I'm on it (it = moving as much of the bootsplash stuff as possible out of functions.sh + updated patches for rc-scripts). I'll try to make it compatible with all current versions of bootsplash and prepare it for gensplash/splashutils.
See http://www.aichler.net/gentoo/bootsplash/ whic was contained in the Bug in Comment #6. Also read the following post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=144497&highlight=animation+cfg Note the answer by c0bblers. It would be nice to get the animations working as im sure the Gentoo user community could come up w/ some cool animations.
Created attachment 36879 [details, diff] The new patch for rc-scripts. The attached patch moved all *splash-support functions to a separate file called splash-functions.sh. All communication is done via the 'splash' function. The splash clients can respond to the events as they see fit (some events may be ignored). The latest release of bootsplash -r5 is compatible with both the current rc-scripts and the patched rc-scripts. splashutils/gensplash will be compatible with the new one only. This new way of doing things will break old bootsplash versions, but: 1) it's inevitable 2) when new rc-scripts are released, they will be marked unstable. Users using 'unstable' systems will get both the latest bootsplash and the latest rc-scripts , so they won't notice any problems. By the time the patched baselayout is made stable, bootsplash-0.6.1-r5 will be stable, too, so everything will work for 'stable' users, too.
ok, it's in baselayout-1.10.4. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the wait.
