v1.0.0

• [COOK-2254] - (formerly CHEF-154) Convert runit_service definition to a service resource named runit_service.

This version has some backwards incompatible changes (hence the major version bump). It is recommended that users pin the cookbook to the previous version where it is a dependency until this version has been tested in a non-production environment (use version 0.16.2):

depends "runit", "<= 0.16.2"

If you use Chef environments, pin the version in the appropriate environment(s).

Changes of note

1. The "runit" recipe must be included before the runit_service resource can be used.
2. The runit_service definition created a separate service resource for notification purposes. This is still available, but the only actions that can be notified are :start, :stop, and :restart.
3. The :enable action blocks waiting for supervise/ok after the service symlink is created.
4. User-controlled services should be created per the runit documentation; see README.md for an example.
5. Some parameters in the definition have changed names in the resource. See below.

The following parameters in the definition are renamed in the resource to clarify their intent.

• directory -> sv_dir
• active_directory -> service_dir
• template_name -> use service_name (name attribute)
• nolog -> set "log" to false
• start_command -> unused (was previously in the "service" resource)
• stop_command -> unused (was previously in the "service" resource)
• restart_command -> unused (was previously in the "service" resource)

v0.16.2

• [COOK-1576] - Do not symlink /etc/init.d/servicename to /usr/bin/sv on debian
• [COOK-1960] - default_logger still looks for sv-service-log-run template
• [COOK-2035] - runit README change

v0.16.0

• [COOK-794] default logger and no_log for runit_service definition
• [COOK-1165] - restart functionality does not work right on Gentoo due to the wrong directory in the attributes
• [COOK-1440] - Delegate service control to normal user

v0.15.0

• [COOK-1008] - Added parameters for names of different templates in runit
