Some of the changes in this release are works in progress, that you will
see fully realized in version 1.38 or later.
Changes include:
*
There is a new chapter in the /nosh Guide/ for those wishing to make
packages and ports of other softwares, or add service bundle support
to existing packages and ports.
*
The external formats configuration import subsystem has been
reorganized a bit.
o
Nothing uses the |JAVA_HOME| import system any more, where
service bundles explicitly have their |JAVA_||HOME| variables
set by configuration import, although it is retained. All
service bundles instead use the |find-matching-jvm| mechanism to
auto-detect a JVM matching their chosen criteria at start time.
o
The per-user services import is now in two parts. System-wide
import sets up a |$HOME/.config/service-bundles/convert/|
subdirectory for each (real user) user account; and each user
can then use that, which contains a subordinate per-user
configuration import mechanism, to set up imported per-user
service bundles for things.
o Per-user service source files for Desktop Bus and other services
are now in their own subdirectory, as are converted keyboard
maps for the userspace virtual terminals.
*
|static-networking| external format configuration import has been
enhanced to set up |snort_at_/interface/| services and to handle
|ipv6_cpe_wanif| and |ipv6_activate_all_interfaces| from |/etc/rc.conf|.
*
There is a new |make-read-only-fs| chain loading tool that is a
placeholder for now. It is used in some service bundles generated
by the |convert-systemd-units| tool, which now recognizes and
converts |CPUAffinity|, |ProtectHome|, |ProtectSystem|,
|ReadWriteDirectories|, |ReadOnlyPaths|, and |InaccessiblePaths|
settings.
*
Per-user management has been augmented, finally fixing the problem
of |system-control| locating the per-user manager by giving the
per-user manager an optional listening FIFO open file descriptor,
which it uses to listen for user-wide state change commands.
|system-control --user| |halt|/|normal|/|sysinit|/&c. now send
commands via this FIFO, and each user's |user-services_at_/username/|
service bundle now uses |fifo-listen| to set up the FIFO and creates
the |per-user-manager/| subdirectory in |/run/user|.
*
There are some more service bundles in the collection that comes
with the toolset: clickhouse-server, hue, udhcpc-log, minissdpd,
rtkit-daemon, accounts-daemon, gdm3, speech-dispatcher, gdomap,
blueman-mechanism, and sysvipc.
*
The per-user configuration import now recognizes and sets up
per-user service bundles for a whole lot more per-user services.
*
On FreeBSD/TrueOS systems |setup-machine-id| now writes
|/usr/local/etc/machine-id|.
*
The userspace virtual terminal services, the multiplexor and the
terminal emulators, no longer run under the aegis of the |daemon|
system account. Rather, they now have their own dedicated accounts
under whose aegides they run. To go with that, there is now a
|user-vt-realizer| group to which users can be added to grant them
realizer (i.e. front-end I/O) access to the system-wide userspace
virtual terminals.
*
A common build problem across several toolsets that occurs if one
has set a |CDPATH|, has been fixed. Various tweaks have also been
made to make life easier for Archnosh and ports to other operating
systems.
