We have used /run for some time now and we have had this migration
script for 6 years. Linux users should have upgraded by now to a version
of OpenRC which stores its information in /run.
I do not know of a need to have the default shell be a build-time
configurable setting. All *nix systems I am aware of have /bin/sh as a
default posix compatible shell.
If some systems running OpenRC do not make that assumption about
/bin/sh, I will consider bringing this back, so feel free to open an
issue.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

This script originally tested the file system type for the source
location of the data we were migrating to determine if the migration was
complete. Now we test the destination, and if the softlevel file is
there the migration was successful.

This doesn't affect us on gentoo, but on archlinux, which has done the
/usr merge, OpenRC was looking for /run under PREFIX. /run is always at
the root level, so it shouldn't have prefix appended to it.

If you are not using linux, this should not affect you.
If you are using linux, from this point forward, openrc requires the
/run directory to be a mounted tmpfs. If it is, you can run
@LIBEXECDIR@/sh/migrate-to-run.sh as root to migrate your dependency
tree and state information to the new location. If it is not, you must
create the /run directory as root with permissions 755 then reboot your
system.
