Version 1.4.0 or later of skalibs, as well as version 1.2.2 or later of execline, are needed to build and/or run s6.
The s6lock library has been added and the s6-setlock binary modified to use it, but no change in dependencies has been added. It is, as always, recommended to use the latest version of skalibs (and also execline to a lesser extent).
Version 1.3.0 or later of skalibs, as well as version 1.2.0 or later of execline, are needed to build and/or run s6.
FHS support has been added. See the end of
this page
for the rationale, and the
general skarnet.org
configuration page for how to proceed.
This means you can now install the s6 binaries wherever you want.
However, since s6 binaries sometimes
call other s6 binaries, and non-slashpackage installations cannot
guarantee absolute paths, s6 programs now rely on the PATH environment
variable to find all their executables on non-slashpackage installations; in
other words, if you are not extra careful with how you are setting up your
PATH, things might break.
Version 1.2.8 or later of skalibs, as well as version 1.1.5 or later of execline, are needed to build and/or run s6.
Version 1.2.6 or later of skalibs is needed to build and/or run s6.
No change in dependencies.
Version 1.1.1 or later of skalibs is needed to build and/or run s6.
You are advised to use at least version 1.0.2 of skalibs, for build-time as well as run-time (if you depend on shared skalibs libraries), since older versions have a bug that impacts s6.
No change in dependencies.
