s6-rc/doc/faq.html, branch v0.7.0.0The skarnet.org service managerhttp://git.skarnet.org/cgit/s6-rc/atom/doc/faq.html?h=v0.7.0.02026-06-14T04:37:32Z Prepare for 0.7.0.0; lots of changes!2026-06-14T04:37:32ZLaurent Bercotska-skaware@skarnet.org2026-06-14T04:37:32Zurn:sha1:87b8fcabeecf2a9cff2ca596da54d6c1cf17d89f
- s6-rc-bundle deleted. Changing bundles without recompiling is not
supported anymore. (It works, but it incentivizes poor workflows; it is
better to handle stuff at the source level and recompile when in doubt,
that's what s6-frontend does.)
- new db format, need to recompile and use s6-rc-format-upgrade on new live db
- support for the reload-signal file in service directories
- new reload scripts for oneshots (which is why the db format has changed)
- new "s6-rc reload" command, calling s6-svc -l on longruns (which makes use
of reload-signal, HUP by default) and the reload script on oneshots
- the live state now tracks when a service has been explicitly brought up
as opposed to by pulled by dependencies. Nothing uses the feature for now
but now the tech is there for an auto-stop-if-unneeded feature.
