Description William Hubbs gentoo-dev

2014-03-10 20:02:23 UTC

This is here to track the fixes we need to make in gentoo for programs
that source /etc/init.d/functions.sh. This is going away, so all
programs that use it should start testing for the presence of
/lib/gentoo/functions.sh. If this file exists, source it instead of
/etc/init.d/functions.sh.

To set up to test to make sure your program works with this new file,
you should run:

emerge -1 gentoo-functions

When yu make the fix, please do not add a hard dependency to
sys-apps/gentoo-functions. The plan is to add this package to @system as
soon as it goes stable.

No more chatter in this bug please; just add dependencies.

Comment 1 William Hubbs gentoo-dev

2014-03-12 20:34:52 UTC

After some discussion on the list, it was determined that if you add hard dependencies to your package for sys-apps/Gentoo-functions, we do not need to add it to @system at all, so go ahead and do that.

hal, please, one bug per package, as the package maintainer will obviously create a new revision (or version) and fix everything involved ending up in file system

no need to reply to this message to avoid bugspam on the Tracker

Comment 3 temporary 2014-12-17 19:22:57 UTC

Hello. It seems like all the activity about fixing this problem has stopped: for example, even though a new version of glibc was added to portage in November 2014 it doesn't seem like it uses a valid way to functions.sh.
Probably it would be correct to make gentoo-functions package also create a symlink to /etc/init.d/functions.sh?

Removing bugs for maintainer-use scripts. We need not to care about those.

Comment 5 Michał Górny archtester

2014-12-21 19:07:07 UTC

9 months (and 17 months in case of glibc) is much too long. Time to make this a QA business. I'm going to set a deadline on all bugs.

Comment 6 Account removed 2015-04-02 20:47:38 UTC

some weeks too late but happy birthday,tracker!

Comment 7 anonymous 2015-04-08 22:50:21 UTC

> I'm going to set a deadline on all bugs.

When deadline?

Comment 8 temporary 2015-05-07 14:44:50 UTC

Anybody alive?

Comment 9 temporary 2015-05-14 17:58:34 UTC

Seems like this bug depends on no bugs in really important packages. Probably, it is possible to just mark it as resolved?

What is the current state?
You set a deadline, the deadline is ended more than six month before.
I recently run into trouble with #504118, so I created the symlink again.
Could "we" be informed, why this is so difficult to replace a file with some function definitions? I think there are some problems caused that delay, but I would like which one.

Comment 11 Lara Maia 2015-10-14 08:45:46 UTC

Oh my god, nothing yet? Why?

Comment 12 Michał Górny archtester

2015-10-18 13:30:17 UTC

We simply have a lot of other work to do, and pursuing all of this is at least hard. If you would like to help, please take a look at the remaining bugs. Preferably create pull requests for the relevant ebuilds, and I will merge them ASAP.

Comment 13 Lara Maia 2016-05-05 13:32:04 UTC

It's fixed now.

Comment 14 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev

2016-06-15 20:54:26 UTC

To move forward on this, somebody needs to verify that all of the dependencies have been stabilized.

Why not simply bail out on non openerc systems ?

Sorry, wrong bug number

Comment 17 Ulf Dambacher 2017-10-29 08:01:50 UTC

This bug is now open for more than 3 years and we' running for the 4th aniversary.

May I suggest to do a harder escalation on fixing this, for example:
* Packages that don't fix this with the next release won't get the tagged stabilized 
* Packages that don't fix this until 2018-3-10 get pushed out of the portage rep

Comment 18 Renich Bon Ciric 2018-04-25 01:40:54 UTC

So! Only openrc remains! Good!
