- Do not invoke insserv from priority layout
- Move user config file to under XDG_CONFIG_HOME
Version 1.2.1 - 2025/10/17
=============
- Process configuration files in immutable and user locations:
- /usr/share/sysv-rc-conf/config
- /etc/sysv-rc-conf.conf
- ${HOME}/.sysv-rc-confrc
- Detect openrc as runlevel manager.
- Allow config to override unsuitable init warning.
- Default to --no-pictograms for wider compatibility.
- Fix --order=np with space like --order=na
- Fix ambiguous -p option back to --priority
Version 1.2.0 - 2025/10/15
=============
- Detect runit as init.
- Annotate which services are runit or systemd-managed.
- Show symbol on RHS when symlinks differ from LSB defaults.
- Annotate service with a colour-coded interpretation of
current symlinks.
- Add backspace key action to revert just current service.
- Separate with space when user requests to prepend the
number to service name in simple view.
- Alter unicode code points used of PgUp/PgDn/Home
- Improvements to man page
- Don't install empty man3 directory
- Namespace for project changed on git forge to:
https://gitlab.com/init-tools/sysv-rc-conf
Version 1.1.1 - 2025/08/30
=============
- Be lenient with LSB header parsing errors
- Do not install internal module man pages by default
- Cope with not being able to create /var/lib/sysv-rc-conf
Version 1.1.0 - 2025/08/06
=============
- Load options from /etc/sysv-rc-conf.conf config file.
- Add --insserv option to refresh dependency-based booting
priorities and dependency files on exit.
- Add --RO option for read-only mode. Used automatically when
not running with root privileges. Look for 'RO' in title.
- Add --UI and --batch options to control use of Curses UI.
(Now defaults to no UI when using --Purge.)
- Add --add, --del and --type options to chkconfig emulation.
- Add 's' order type to sort oneshot services after others.
- Add tristate Curses::UI widget to let checkboxes represent
floating services ('~') that have no symlink. Cycle through
the three states with '<' and '>' and use '2' or '~' to
select 'floating'.
- Handle floating services properly. Toggling in runlevels
0 and 6 is between 'K' and floating. Toggling in runlevel S
is between 'S' and floating.
- Set LSB defaults with 'd' key or 'reset' chkconfig action.
- Toggle all multiuser runlevels with 'm' key.
- Quit from help screen only leaves help.
- Add PgDn/PgUp/Home screen navigation. Show page number and
avoid crashing with >100 services per page.
- Launch init scripts with the 'service' wrapper instead of
directly, capture stderr and the return code in addition to
stdout and remove '=' key alias for starting services.
- Warn on startup if systemd running.
- Line up runlevel columns with --list.
- Add XDG desktop entry and icon.
- Avoid computing a priority of '100' when inverting a '00'
symlink priority to fix https://sf.net/p/sysv-rc-conf/bugs/1/
- Show all options with --help.
