# OpenRC NEWS
|
|
|
|
This file will contain a list of notable changes for each release. Note
|
|
the information in this file is in reverse order.
|
|
|
|
## OpenRC-0.18
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of localmount and netmount is changing. In the past, these
|
|
services always started successfully. However, now they will fail if a
|
|
file system they attempt to mount cannot be mounted.
|
|
|
|
If you have file systems listed in fstab which should not be mounted at
|
|
boot time, make sure to add noauto to the mount options. If you have
|
|
file systems that you want to attempt to mount at boot time but failure
|
|
should be allowed, add nofail to the mount options for these file
|
|
systems in fstab.
|
|
|
|
In this version, we are dropping the use of the -O switch for
|
|
mount/umount -a. This is being dropped because it is util-linux
|
|
specific and not compatible with busybox.
|
|
|
|
This should not be a regression for Gentoo users, but I am publishing
|
|
this here because it may be for others.
|
|
|
|
## OpenRC-0.14
|
|
|
|
The binfmt service, which registers misc binary formats with the Linux
|
|
kernel, has been separated from the procfs service. This service will be
|
|
automatically added to the boot runlevel for new Linux installs. When
|
|
you upgrade, you will need to use rc-update to add it to your boot
|
|
runlevel.
|
|
|
|
The procfs service no longer automounts the deprecated usbfs and
|
|
usbdevfs file systems. Nothing should be using usbdevfs any longer, and
|
|
if you still need usbfs it can be added to fstab.
|
|
|
|
Related to the above change, the procfs service no longer attempts to
|
|
modprobe the usbcore module. If your device manager does not load it,
|
|
you will need to configure the modules service to do so.
|
|
|
|
The override order of binfmt.d and tmpfiles.d directories has been
|
|
changed to match systemd. Files in /run/binfmt.d and /run/tmpfiles.d
|
|
override their /usr/lib counterparts, and files in the /etc counterparts
|
|
override both /usr/lib and /run.
|
|
|
|
## OpenRC-0.13.2
|
|
|
|
A chroot variable has been added to the service script variables.
|
|
This fixes the support for running a service in a chroot.
|
|
This is documented in man 8 openrc-run.
|
|
|
|
The netmount service now mounts nfs file systems.
|
|
This change was made to correct a fix for an earlier bug.
|
|
|
|
## OpenRC-0.13
|
|
|
|
/sbin/rc was renamed to /sbin/openrc and /sbin/runscript was renamed to
|
|
/sbin/openrc-run due to naming conflicts with other software.
|
|
|
|
Backward compatible symbolic links are currently in place so your
|
|
system will keep working if you are using the old names; however, it is
|
|
strongly advised that you migrate to the new names because the symbolic
|
|
links will be removed in the future.
|
|
Warnings have been added to assist with this migration; however, due to the
|
|
level of noise they produce, they only appear in verbose mode in this release.
|
|
|
|
The devfs script now handles the initial mounting and setup of the
|
|
/dev directory. If /dev has already been mounted by the kernel or an
|
|
initramfs, devfs will remount /dev with the correct mount options
|
|
instead of mounting a second /dev over the existing mount point.
|
|
|
|
It attempts to mount /dev from fstab first if an entry exists there. If
|
|
it doesn't it attempts to mount devtmpfs if it is configured in the
|
|
kernel. If not, it attempts to mount tmpfs.
|
|
If none of these is available, an error message is displayed and static
|
|
/dev is assumed.
|
|
|
|
## OpenRC-0.12
|
|
|
|
The net.* scripts, originally from Gentoo Linux, have
|
|
been removed. If you need these scripts, look for a package called
|
|
netifrc, which is maintained by them.
