runit

runit - upgrading from previous versions


0.5.0 to 0.6.0

There are two new programs, runsvdir and runsv, which replace the svscanboot/svscan/readproctitle/supervise combination of daemontools. Please adapt runit's stage 2 (/etc/runit/2) to use runsvdir instead of svscanboot; see the examples in /package/admin/runit/etc/. The change takes effect on the next reboot or if you stop all services and kill svscan and readproctitle. runit then automatically restarts stage 2.

The svwaitdown program has new options: -k and -x. They are used in runit's stage 3 (/etc/runit/3). Please adapt your /etc/runit/3 script after the changes to stage 2 have taken effect (runsvdir must run instead of svscanboot); see the examples in /package/admin/runit/etc/.

0.4.1 to 0.5.0

There is a new program: utmpset. This program is used in the getty run scripts to enable local login accounting. You might want to adapt your getty run scripts /service/getty-*/run, see the examples in /package/admin/runit/etc/.
