Media-video/motion-4.3.1 is unable to create its user PID folder in /var/run when using OpenRC. Manually creating the directory works but of course does not persist after a reboot. Mine runs under the user:group - “motion:motion”. It needs to create “/var/run/motion/motion.pid”. I posted this on Gentoo forums and user:netfab pointed out that whereas an earlier init file created the directory, the current one (init-r4) no longer does this. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1118330-highlight-.html
I'll pick this up and update the ebuild to verify the existence of /var/run . In the mean time you can try to use the supervise-daemon use flag which does not require a pid file.
the fix will be to add the following two statements to the depend function 'need localmount" and "after bootmisc", in accordance with the suggestions in the wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Parts/Working/Initscripts#Controlling_the_order .

Are you intending to add the fixes to that ebuild? Is there a current maintainer for the Motion ebuild? BTW Despite using Gentoo for many years I've rarely ever modified an ebuild. But unless somebody else has this, I'm happy to give it a go.

Can you please confirm that adding "need localmount" and "after bootmisc" resolves ths issue for you? Thanks.

I'm afraid that I switched to the "official" Docker image of this tool from the Gentoo build - a local string of shed robberies made me want a reliable CCTV system ;-) I will be able to check, however, I will only be able to do so in about a week's time. Thanks!
Okay, that'd be good. In any case 4.3.2 with this change is underway. I submitted the pull request yesterday. Waiting for it to be merged.
