Gentoo Init Scripts: Use of the opts variable is deprecated and will be removed in the future
After updating my Gentoo Linux box, I noticed this warning when some of my init scripts ran:
- Use of the opts variable is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
The short answer is that you can probably ignore this warning for now. The long answer is that there is a new format for the init scripts and not all of them have been updated to the new format. Obviously, as a sanity check you should make sure that after the update you merged the changes (if any) to configuration files by running etc-update. This issue should resolve itself eventually by the package maintainers.
