<h1> Upgrade notes for s6-rc </h1>

<p>
 As a general rule, if you change <em>major versions</em>,
for instance if you upgrade from 0.1.0.0 to 0.2.1.2, you need
to <em>recompile your service databases</em>, because the
binary format is not guaranteed stable across major version
changes. You can keep your compiled service databases across
minor and bugfix version changes.
</p>

<h2> in 0.5.0.0 </h2>

<ul>
 <li> This is a major version update but the database format did not change,
no need to recompile your service databases. </li>
 <li> <a href="//skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a>

 <li> <a href="s6-rc-compile.html">s6-rc-compile</a> does not support the <tt>-u</tt>
or <tt>-g</tt> options anymore; instead, at any time, the user who can operate
an s6-rc database is the user who owns the supervision tree. </li>
 <li> Everything now builds as PIC by default no matter
the toolchain's settings. Use the <tt>--disable-all-pic</tt> configure
option to build executables and static libraries as non-PIC. </li>
 <li> The underlying s6 dependency needs a major version upgrade.
It is recommended to first stop all your services, then upgrade
s6 and s6-rc, then immediately restart your supervision tree,
then start your services again. Failure to do so *will* cause issues
if you're relying on s6-ftrigrd notifications (which is the case with
services managed by s6-rc). </li>

longrun definition directory. </li>

dependency bumped to 2.6.2.0. </li>
 <li> <a href="s6-rc-compile.html">s6-rc-compile</a> now
accepts multiple lines in a <tt>consumer-for</tt> file: a
longrun can now have multiple producers, which means that
pipelines are really funnels. The compiled databases <strong>are not</strong>
compatible with previous versions, and the source databases
<strong>are not</strong> compatible either, because the
<tt>pipeline-name</tt> file must now be present in the definition of
the final consumer of a pipeline, not in the definition of a first
producer (to avoid ambiguity). Edit your databases and recompile
them. </li>

 <li> <a href="s6-rc-compile.html">s6-rc-compile</a> now guarantees that
service numbers do not change if the source database does not change.
This is useful for updates to the database format. You should recompile
your service databases in preparation for the switch to s6-rc-0.4.0.0. </li>
