Bootsplash Progress Bar Patch

Introduction

The Bootsplash Progress Bar Patch is an unofficial package for the Gentoo distribution. The patch adds support for a progress bar, text and animations to the bootsplash image shown during startup/shutdown. For this to work I had to patch several files out of the baselayout package.

The goal was to have a somewhat smooth progress bar with as little changes to the files as possible. The files which were finally affected are:
  • /etc/conf.d/bootsplash.conf
  • /etc/init.d/halt.sh
  • /sbin/functions.sh
  • /sbin/runscript.sh
  • /sbin/rc

The latest version is 0.5.2 released on Wednesday, 13th of Aug 2003.
