2014-06-23Make history a separate documentWilliam Hubbs
Move the additional history information from Daniel Robbins' wiki page along with the history from README to a separate file, README.history. X-Gentoo-Bug: 513024 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/513024
2013-12-29Rename runscript to openrc-runWilliam Hubbs
This was requested by Debian, because the minicom software, which is available on Debian and other distros, has a binary named runscript. We are keeping a backward compatibility symlink for now, but this allows Debian or any other distro to safely remove the symlink.

2013-12-12Rename the rc binary to openrcWilliam Hubbs
Debian requested this rename due to the "rc" binary conflicting with the "rc" binary from the plan 9 shell. We also add a deprecation warning to the binary when it is run as rc to encourage users to switch to openrc instead.

2013-08-14typo fixWilliam Hubbs
2013-08-14add note to README about the net.* scripts moving to their own packageWilliam Hubbs
2013-08-13Remove gentoo's net.* scriptsWilliam Hubbs
It has been determined that it will be best for gentoo's net.* scripts to be in a separate package to allow independent development. This package will be called netifrc and maintained by Gentoo.
2013-01-02Add tools directoryWilliam Hubbs
This directory will contain tools which are not necessary for OpenRC to run, but which some users have found useful. The first of these is deptree2dot, which converts /run/openrc/deptree to a .dot file for use with graphviz. This can assist in finding circular dependencies.
2012-08-31add MKPREFIX flag to build systemWilliam Hubbs
This allows building OpenRC for a Gentoo Prefix installation.
2012-07-10fix the upstream default network stackWilliam Hubbs
The OpenRC upstream default network stack was changed, but there was no reason to change it. Now since we have the MKNET build switch, it is easy for the gentoo ebuild to install oldnet by default. The upstream default is newnet.
2012-07-10add the MKNET variable to select a network stackWilliam Hubbs
The MKNET variable can be used to select the network stack you want to build and install with OpenRC. The current default is the gentoo "oldnet" stack. If you want to install the OpenRC newnet stack, use MKNET=newnet on the make command line.
2012-07-08make oldnet the default for nowWilliam Hubbs
2012-07-08Revert "Deprecate the network and staticroute scripts"William Hubbs
This reverts commit 5994e55937cbbb71b1c22ad829b77a1bcd8c3793. There are situations where these scripts can be useful, so I am bringing them back. Also, I want to start discussions about simplifying the OpenRC network stack.
2012-02-20Drop rc_sys definition from build systemWilliam Hubbs
2011-11-18Add MKSTATICLIBS switchWilliam Hubbs
The MKSTATICLIBS switch, which defaults to yes, controls whether or not static libraries are built and installed. Reported-by: Agostino Sarubbo <ago@autistici.org> x-Gentoo-Bug: 378267 x-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378267
2011-11-16Deprecate the network and staticroute scriptsWilliam Hubbs
These scripts are not supported, and they have several major design issues such as not being able to stop, start or allow a dependency on a single interface.
2011-06-24update bug reporting information in READMEWilliam Hubbs
2011-03-05allow default rc_sys value to be set at build timeWilliam Hubbs
This allows the default value of rc_sys to be set when openrc is compiled. This will allow openrc to be installed, e.g. on vserver guests and will allow them to be rebooted without the need to edit rc.conf. This patch is a combined effort between myself and Robin Johnson.

2011-01-31selinux: replace symlinks with wrapper scriptsChris Richards
This needs to be done on selinux systems so the proper context can be set for each rc applet. X-Gentoo-Bug: 351712 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351712
2011-01-31only support building with GNU MakeWilliam Hubbs
Update the documentation to state that openrc only works with gnu make. This needs to be done in order to address the parallel build issue. X-Gentoo-Bug: 289264 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289264
