Hi Laurent,
Congratulations on your updated software!
I searched through my execline documentation page
(
http://troubleshooters.com/linux/execline.htm ) to see whether
revisions were needed. They weren't, but I found and fixed several
errors on that page.
I've been doing other things and haven't paid much attention to the
progress of s6. I haven't found any simple documentation on it. Let me
see if I understand...
* Before first installation, back up /sbin/init so if things go
wrong it's easy to boot with your prior init
* Before running any s6 components, do all the correct config so that
the s6-rc-compile program to produce a proper s6-rc. Do this every
time you add or subtract services
* Grub boots to s6-linux-init-maker, which creates several things,
including a new /sbin/init, and then execs /sbin/init
* /sbin/init does the necessary stuff about signals and the like, and
then forks the stage1 script
* When the stage 1 script completes, /sbin/init execs the stage 2
script, so the stage 2 script is PID1 now
* The stage 2 script forks s6-rc-init
* When s6-rc-init completes, the stage 2 script execs s6-rc, so s6-rc
is PID1
* s6-rc supervises s6-svscan, which supervises all the other services,
both longrun and shortrun.
The preceding is the best interpretation I could put together from
https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/overview.html,
https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc.html, and discussions with
you. What do I need to do to make the preceding sequence accurate?
Thanks,

> Hello,
>
> New versions of all the skarnet.org packages are available.
>
> The changes are, for the most part, minimal: essentially, the new
>versions fix a bug in the build system that made cross-building under

> Some packages had a few more bugfixes; and some packages have
>additional functionality. No major update; no compatibility break.

> The new versions are the following:
>
>skalibs-2.11.1.0 (minor)
>nsss-0.2.0.1 (release)
>utmps-0.1.1.0 (minor)
>execline-2.8.2.0 (minor)
>s6-2.11.0.1 (release)
>s6-rc-0.5.3.0 (minor)
>s6-portable-utils-2.2.3.4 (release)

>dnsfunnel-0.0.1.3 (release)
>smtpd-starttls-proxy-0.0.1.1 (release)

>* skalibs-2.11.1.0
> ----------------

> - New function: opendir_at()

>
>* utmps-0.1.1.0

>
>* execline-2.8.2.0
> ----------------
>
> - New -s option to the case binary, enabling fnmatch() (shell)

>* s6-rc-0.5.3.0
> -------------

> - Bundle contents are now read in a "contents.d/" subdirectory, one
>file per content, instead of one per line in a "contents" file. In
>the same way, service dependencies are now read in a "dependencies.d/"
>subdirectory, one file per dependency. Old "contents" and
>"dependencies" files are still supported, but deprecated. This change
>allows better integration of s6-rc service definitions with package
>managers.
