Hi there!
As some of you have waited long for this to happen, sys-apps/openrc-0.5.1 is
there. It has a default enabled (eapi-1) useflag oldnet to install the
old-style network scripts called net.*.
Regardless of this use-flag, the new init-script /etc/init.d/network is
always installed.
For transition to new-style network script there is something todo I think.
Unordered list of todos:
* hotplug? at least udev does explicitly call in net.* scripts
* New systems should get old or new scripts?
* does new scripts already can do all that was possible with net.* ?
So far I hope the update does not break any system.
In case this happens nevertheless open a bug as usual.

As long as this new version is ~arch (and not hardmasked), you also need to
send some documentation updates for
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml; patches to bugs.gentoo.org,
Documentation product. This way we in the GDP can take care of keeping the
guide up-to-date. Thanks.
I've just updated the system and it installed openrc-0.5.1. After reboot
I have noticed that none of my network interfaces were configured (
lo,eth0). If it wasn't for this mail, it'd take a headache or two to
figure out that init. script is new.
But I still don't have a clue how to use it. I have started it, but it
dd not seem to do anything. I thought that it would probably take
settings from /etc/conf.d/net, but that doesn't seem to be the case,
ande there is no other config in sight.
Also, neither on gentoo.org or on roy.maples.name seem to be anything
resembling documentation...
