The nosh package is now up to version 1.27 . * http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwares/nosh.html * https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2015-07-2015-09.html#The-nosh-Project In fact, it is soon to be version 1.28. This is a somewhat delayed notice for 1.27, because I forgot to send out the notices for versions 1.27 and 1.26 after updating the WWW site. As can be seen from the roadmap, we are at the point in rc.d conversion for FreeBSD/PC-BSD where it's actually easier to count the things that remain unconverted. Discounting the PC-BSD Active Directory services and a handful of suspect FreeBSD services (such as growfs, which doesn't apply to ZFS in the first place) the remaining things to be converted can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The external configuration import mechanism has gained the ability to handle stf, atabridge, mdconfig, and a few others. There are also a whole bunch more service bundles: cross-platform, for Linux, and for BSD. * http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwares/nosh/roadmap.html#FreeBSDrc.d The OOM Killer avoidance measures from version 1.25 are now employed in the PostgreSQL service bundle as well. The systemd service unit conversion tool has gained a whole load of NUMA-related extensions: NUMAInterleave, NUMAMemBind, NUMACPUNodeBind, NUMAPhysCPUBind, NUMALocalAlloc, and NUMAPreferred. These it translates into the equivalent invocations of the numactl chain-loading utility. It has also gained a couple of minor fixes and tweaks. The %m substitution now works, and service bundles comprising FIFOs or AF_LOCAL sockets are now created so that they are ordered after any relevant filesystem mount services. By request, the nosh Guide has gained a whole chapter of cheatsheets, giving quick one-liner pointers to some common tasks. The chapter is divided into three sections: chain loading, logging, and service management. The service management division is subdivided into daemontools-style commands, systemd-style commands, OpenBSD-style commands, SMF-style commands, and common commands. The chain loading division gives a number of the more common commands used in chain-loading run scripts (and whereever else one might want to use them). There have been improvements in static network setup, including fixes for some bugs in static_arp and static_ndp and a more cross-platform replacement for the static-networking service. The nosh-bundles package now supplies several aliases for services, which are just plain old symbolic links. So (for example) one can address the CUPS service as either org.cups.cupsd or just plain cupsd. Things to look forward to in version 1.28 already include: more service bundles; another chain-loading utility; a major revision to MySQL and MariaDB service bundling, to reflect the pushes by their own developers to obviate their rc scripts and the mysql-safe command and just run mysqld directly under service management using the tools provided by the service management system; and a change relevant to the all-important linux_logo command.
