nosh is now up to version 1.14

http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwares/nosh.html
These particular changelog entries are a big deal for Debian Linux.
* The previous regular sockets, sysinit services, and standard
targets packages are now all merged into the bundles package.
* There is now a new user VT package that runs new-style user VT
services.
* There is now a new kernel VT package that runs old-style kernel VT
services.
* The nosh-systemd-services package now automatically runs various
nosh subsystems under systemd.
I've taken the list of Debian packages available for download off the
infobox at the side of the blurb page and set up a page devoted
specifically to the Debian packages, explaining what they contain and
are for in more detail than could fit into that infobox.

There's a known bug that I'm working on. Because the preset conversion
is a little too aggressive, and because getttynam() exists on Debian
Linux, you'll currently need a dummy BSD /etc/ttys file that presets the
ttylogin_at_.service services that you want. Something like:
tty1 /bin/false linux on secure
tty5 /bin/false linux on secure
tty7 /bin/false linux off secure
vc0-tty /bin/false linux on secure
vc1-tty /bin/false linux on secure
vc2-tty /bin/false linux on secure
Those "vcN-tty" lines are user-mode virtual terminals. As you can
probably work out from this, on the BSD side the nosh user-mode virtual
terminal system is able to pull terminal login service enable/disable
information from the existing /etc/ttys configuration mechanism. (It
also can pull from /etc/rc.conf and does "onifconsole" too.)
The list of 157 things that I have to convert in order to fully replace
BSD /etc/rc.d is discussed in detail on the FreeBSD Hackers mailing
list. We have long since passed the point where it's possible to have
an entirely nosh-managed FreeBSD/PC-BSD system, though. The list of
things that I have to convert before I can likewise run my Debian Linux
system fully under the nosh system-manager is down to about a handful,
and is mainly the likes of service bundles for dbus and udev. If you
already have daemontools-style run scripts for those, or eudev, or mdev,
or whatever you enjoy, then you can race ahead of me. (-:
The page also warns about the nosh-bundles package potentially enabling
a lot of services. It's a package of over 400 service bundles. One way
of avoiding this is to go the only-enable-what-I-permit route, and use
this 99-default.preset:
disable *.service
disable *.socket
With something like this 00-administrator.preset alongside:
enable cyclog_at_acpid.service
enable cyclog_at_atd.service
enable cyclog_at_console-fb-realizer@*.service
enable cyclog_at_console-multiplexor@*.service
enable cyclog_at_gnucron.service
enable cyclog_at_kerneloops.service
enable cyclog_at_ModemManager.service
enable cyclog_at_NetworkManager.service
enable cyclog_at_org.cups.cups*.service
enable cyclog_at_polkitd.service
enable cyclog_at_terminal-emulator@*.service
enable cyclog_at_ttylogin@*.service
enable cyclog_at_update-binfmts.service
enable cyclog_at_wpa_supplicant.service
enable acpid.service
enable atd.service
enable console-fb-realizer_at_*.service
enable console-multiplexor_at_*.service
enable gnucron.service
enable kerneloops.service
enable ModemManager.service
enable NetworkManager.service
enable org.cups.cups*.service
enable polkitd.service
enable terminal-emulator_at_*.service
enable ttylogin_at_*.service
enable update-binfmts.service
enable wpa_supplicant.service
Adjust according to taste, of course. Mine also enables various
additional service bundles including dnscache, tinydns, http6d,
rabbitmq-server, and epmd (and their concomitant logging services) for
example.
