Create “chroot-nspawn” wrapper as a “systemd-nspawn” replacement.
It’s needed for “libretools” package.

* Create git project.
* Create “chroot-nspawn” wrapper.

Add “libreboot Installation” page with “Full-Disk Encryption”, use Libreboot wiki as reference page[0]

pam_unix2 was removed from Debian Jessie because it’s buggy and unmaintained [0]

It’s included inside pam package and should be removed since it doesn’t comes from official source. Also the original upstream FTP directory (ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/kukuk/pam/pam_unix2) has disappeared.

When dummy.ko (kernel module) is loaded, dummy0 interface is loaded as “numdummies=1”.
If any dummy interface is configured in netifrc config file, dummy module loads and adds undesirable “dummy0” interface
(eg. if “dummy0” interface is configured, it generates netifrc configuration conflicts).

Please add “/usr/lib/modprobe.d/dummy.conf” file configuration to disable numdummies option by default:

options dummy numdummies=0

Description:

Rename "chroot-nspawn" keyword to "chroot+unshare" one

compatibility script) subsystem.

Steps to reproduce:

Run OpenRC init

Description:

Please remove "mtab", "modules-load" and "swclock" init scripts.

"mtab" is a deprecated and unmaintained init script,
because filesystem contains a mtab soft link.

"modules-load" init script, is a systemd compatibility configuration
to load the kernel modules from the "/etc/modules-load" configuration
directory.
This init script is useless, because the "modules" init script exists
and it's a duplicated feature.
If you need a module to load a module, just configure "/etc/conf.d/modules"
and start the "modules" init script or add a module in
the "/etc/mkinitcpio.conf" and run mkinitcpio -p $yourkernel

"swclock" is an useless init script, because is a service
setting the local clock based on last shutdown time.
If a machine doesn't support "/etc/rtc", then disable "clock_hctosys" and
"clock_systohc" from "/etc/conf.d/hwclock" with or without
NTP server/client. For chroot environments,"osclock" init script is the way.

Steps to reproduce:

Enable the unused init scripts

Description:

Use procps-ng's "sysctl" by default instead of inetutils's "hostname" for
hostname support.

Since [inetutils] is an extra dependency for openrc, it
contains insecure commands like: ftp/rcp/rlogin/rsh/talk/telnet
For security reasons, procps-ng should be the tool to handle hostname
configuration through hostname init script because is a base package.

Additional info:

openrc 0.28-14
