Bug 383373 – sys-apps/openrc: add warning for deprecated /etc/conf.d/rc

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) 2011-09-17 16:30:57 UTC]

As discussed with idl0r:

I stumbled across the warning "/etc/conf.d/local should be removed". The same should be done for /etc/conf.d/rc.

I would vote for closing this as wontfix for the following reasons:

1) /etc/conf.d/rc is never used in openrc, and
2) the migration guide specifically instructs you to remove this file
after you migrate the settings.

Looking at this further,

there is already a warning in the openrc ebuild for this in pkg_preinst.
This is a migration issue, so I don't think the warning should go in the
openrc code base.

I just ran the following test as root:

touch /etc/conf.d/rc
emerge -1 openrc

This gives a warning in the emerge output about migrating /etc/conf.d/rc
to /etc/rc.conf and removing the file, so I think we are covered for
this bug.

If no one disagrees, I will close this bug as invalid.

[Comment 4 William Hubbs 2011-09-17 20:04:43 UTC]

After researching this further, I think invalid is a better resolution
because:

1) the openrc ebuilds have warnings about removing this file as shown
above.
2) Openrc never supported /etc/conf.d/rc, so if we add this to the code
base, we would be adding support for a file just to warn about it.
