2018-11-07Create save-keymaps and save-ktermencoding servicesWilliam Hubbs
These services represent the parts of the keymaps and termencoding services which saved the settings back to the root file system so they can be loaded very early in the boot process. These are needed to allow keymaps and termencoding to run earlier in the boot sequence. X-Gentoo-Bug: 446018 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446018

2018-08-14Stop mounting efivarfs read-onlyWilliam Hubbs

2018-05-07Remove localmount from dependencies for linux-only servicesWilliam Hubbs
This removes localmount from the dependencies of the consolefont, keymaps, numlock and procfs services.

2018-03-16init.d/modules: add code from modules-load serviceWilliam Hubbs

2017-11-14strongly encourage Linux users to not make /etc/mtab a flat fileWilliam Hubbs
The OpenRC team does not currently know of any modern linux tools that require /etc/mtab to be a flat file, so this puts users on notice that the mtab service will be removed in the future.

2017-02-17Move deptree2dot to the support folderWilliam Hubbs
Since deptree2dot and the perl requirement are completely optional, we can move this tool to the support folder. This gives the user the option of using it if they have perl installed, and means we do not have an optional runtime dependency on perl. Documentation for this tool has also been added to the support folder. X-Gentoo-Bug: 600742 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600742
