 why sysvinit? On my present setup, ..$ USE_FLAGS=~x86 emerge -p -u baselayout says These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86 [ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.0-r9 [2.05b-r9] [ebuild U ] sys-libs/readline-5.0-r2 [4.3-r5] [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r6 [1.9.4-r6] Why sysvinit? I thought Gentoo did away with sysvinit-style /etc/rc.d bootup and shutdown. Or has sysvinit been a Gentoo option all along but just wasn't aware of it?      |

I am aware of the fact that Gentoo boots up very time I boot Gentoo, but it does so without the benefit of the sysvinit package. Hence my question: why does installing sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r6 entail installing sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86 Would sysvinit-2.86 supplant my existing bootup machinery and, if it would not, why does baselayout-1.11.10-r6 need it? -- |

The current stable baselayout contains some sysvinit scripts. I can only assume that the devs are going to separate these out hence the sysvinit package. -- Andy. |

No. sysvinit contains /sbin/init and this is vital to a Linux system. Here's the proceedure: 1. Kernel boots 2. Kernel executes /sbin/init 3. /sbin/init interprets /etc/inittab 4. /sbin/init changes the runlevel and executes the corresponding command specified in /etc/inittab 5. Etc. This is the same for any Linux system. sysvinit has no relationship with /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d (or any other "init" scripts) except by association through inittab. >>> Or has sysvinit been a Gentoo option all along but just wasn't aware >>> of it? sysvinit is not an option - it's a requirement. > [snip] > > Hence my question: why does installing > sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.10-r6 > > entail installing > > sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86 Because sysvinit has been split from the baselayout package as of >=sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.8-r3 . > Would sysvinit-2.86 supplant my existing bootup machinery It *is* part of your existing bootup machinery. > and, if it would not, why does baselayout-1.11.10-r6 need it? See above. At this point I would caution you not to install ~x86 packages unless you know what you're doing. Hth, -- Ben M. |

So far, no problems. Thanks again to all who replied. |
