Hi Laurent, hi list. I've been trying to get s6-rc set up and after some time I think I managed it. I want to describe my process as a list of steps and then ask you for comments. So here it goes:
1. First we create 'scandir1', and put services there. Each service is a svcdir. We put dependencies file and type file in each svcdir. (We do not run svcscn on it, because it doesn't really manage dependencies) 2. We run s6-rc-compile pointing at scandir and get 'compiled' dir as output. 3. We run svcscan process on an emtpy dir - 'scandir2' 4. We run s6-rc-init , feeding 'compiled' and 'scandir2' dirs we get 'live' dir. At this point things seem to be working and I can use s6-rc to bring up and down services with dependencies. But this gets very confusing and does not look like a good user experience: - The contents of scandir1 and scandir2 look very similar (scandir2 differs only by the fact that it has symlinks instead of regular svcdirs). - Complied dir contains copies of scandir1 services plus some files - Live dir is the most wired one. It has symlinks to compiled and scandir2 and it also has copies of services under servicedirs/ directory So same information is duplicated 3 times and symlinked 3 times. Is this the intended flow? Or have I messed something up really badly? Thanks Ihor
