Description Martin Väth 2008-03-28 15:24:21 UTC
sys-apps/openrc-0.2-r1 apparently renamed
/etc/{init.d,conf.d,/runlevel/boot}clock to *hwclock.
However, clock is still used by some init-scripts e.g. atd, dcron, or metalog.
Moreover, openrc itself has "after clock" in bootmisc and fsck dependencies.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-03-28 16:54:11 UTC
the hwclock init.d script has "provide" clock
Comment 2 Martin Väth 2008-03-28 20:21:04 UTC
> the hwclock init.d script has "provide" clock

Then perhaps something else is strange: I ran into the problem because
I read a message like "...atd depends on nonexisting service clock...".
But perhaps this happened only at the first boot - I cannot reproduce it
anymore.
