Bug 503408 – =sys-apps/openrc-0.12.4 Separated /usr. install command in tmpfiles.sh

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nobuyuki MORIYA 2014-03-04 13:23:58 UTC]

My Gentoo Linux Box is separated /usr on lvm.
Command fails whenever the system is booted.

Is there a problem with the install command of busybox?

I can't accept this patch, because it forces OpenRc to have a hard
dependency on busybox, which is not a good idea.

The only way to get around this would be to not use the install command
at all, and I'm not sure whether that is a good idea either.

Does anyone else have any thoughts?

At first, Sorry my bad English.

My patch is not a good idea to have a strong dependency on Busybox.

It came up with a way to replace cp, chmod, chown command to the Install command, but I have not tried it yet...

This is also not a good idea?

If I do anything, I will move away from the install command, I was
just wondering what others thought about going that route.

A fix for this is in commit 647e08e and will be included in OpenRC-0.13.
