• Fix the cookbook incorrectly requiring Chef 13 when it now actually requires Chef 14 due to the use of find_resource. Sorry about this everyone.

5.0.0 (2019-02-04)

• This cookbook now requires Chef 13 or later. If you are still using Chef 12 please pin to the 4.3.1 release, and also seriously consider upgrading to the latest Chef to receive new features, bug fixes, and security updates in Chef.
• Performed a large-scale refactor of the resource to use the Chef resource DSL which resolves multiple edge case bugs by natively setting up properties, default values, and overrides
• Updated the default recipe to support Amazon Linux 2
• Default attributes used by the resource have been removed from the attributes file. They will continue to work, but their usage should be heavily discouraged as this mixed attributes + properties and results in confusion on where values come from.

• Removed some legacy backwards compatibility code for older Chef releases we no longer support

• Fix typo in an error message

4.1.0 (2018-04-19)

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
