* We'll start complaining about an empty /usr * We pivot into a shutdown ramfs if it exists in /run/initramfs * /etc/profile.d/locale.sh is now a static file, rather than being generated on every boot (this means we need to use -f when updating) * rc.d is can now filter the output in a nice way * We load fragments from sysctl.d in addition to the sysctl.conf file * /etc/localtime is now a symlink

Changes to rc.conf ------------------ The VERBOSE parameter no longer has an effect, use the kernel's loglevel= parameter instead. Most people probably wants to pass 'quiet' to the kernel. Alternatively, a new init hook could be added to /etc/rc.d/functions.d/dmesg: sysinit_start () { dmesg -n 3 } If HARDWARECLOCK is empty we will read the value of UTC/LOCAL from hwclock's adjfile instead. To avoid interacting with the hardwareclock set HARDWARECLOCK="IGNORE" (this should never be needed, and might be removed in the future). We now support (optionally) setting the broadcast address in the new network config. Behavioral changes ------------------ We no longer silence errors thrown by udev. In particular, if udevadm --settle times out, we get an error message. We no longer adjust the rtc on boot, as it is unreliable, we only make corrections for the timezone. We no longer mount /run as noexec. Misc changes ------------ Cleaning up of /tmp and friends is now done by an external tool. This tool is intended to allow pac kages to maintain {/var,}/run{/lock,} in the absense of rc scripts. General refactoring which should make maintenance and writing custom hooks easier. Revert the NEED_ROOT functionality. It is now off by default, and has to be enabled by the rc scripts that wants to force root. -

Fix improper creation of utmp. This was causing problems with detecting the runlevel.

Do not use 'hostname' any longer, this means it can go back to net-tools without us having to care Also fix a trivial syntax error with our printing functions

Mainly bugfix release Changes: * rename /sbin/rc to /sbin/rc.d to avoid PATH conflict * drop very old deprecated setting of uevent_helper * mount /dev/pts and /dev/shm with standard options in case they are not in fstab Features: * use bootlogd to record the output from boot * make it possible to symlink /var/{run,lock} to /run/{,lock} (this is not done automatically) Workarounds: * symlink the old /var/run/daemons to /run/daemons (this should not be necessary but broken rc.d scripts rely on it) * reinstate the copying of persistent udev rules from /run to /etc (this will go away one day due to upstream changes)
