Heh, long time no blog :(Anyways, I have been busy what with the recent stabilisation of baselayout-1.12. We think all regressions have been fixed, with a few very minor ones with patches in bugzilla. I’ve got a small one that only one person has reported which I’ll try to fix before the next release in the 1.12 range.So what’s coming up in baselayout-1.13 I hear you say? Well, here’s a quick list Buffered e output. This allows parallel startup to look identical to non parallel
- Wrapped eoutput. Ensures that we never go over terminal width- if we do it’s another e call
- Working [ vserver ]support
- FreeBSD init support (not networking scripts yet)
- Critical services can use dependencies (you can no longer set svcdir)
- BASH TEXTDOMAIN support, so people can translate init scripts I only have two things on my todo list before I’ll put an alpha into portage- FreeBSD network support (which may take a while as I don’t have a FreeBSD box yet) and the ability to have >1 init script to provide the same thing.So there we go, something to look forward too :)
