If a file named \&\fIdebian/\fIpackage\fI.runit\fR exists, then it ensures appropriate actions are performed based on its content. .PP For runit, each unit of supervision (or, simply speaking, program) is represented by a directory under \fI/etc/sv\fR, containing at least a \fIrun\fR executable file. Each enabled unit of supervision is represented by a symbolic link under \fI/etc/services\fR (which itself is a symbolic link to \&\fI/etc/runit/runsvdir/default\fR) pointing to some directory under \&\fI/etc/sv\fR. .PP \&\fBdh_runit\fR reads arguments from the command line and \&\fIdebian/\fIpackage\fI.runit\fR in pairs, with the first item being the path to a file or directory and the second being a set of options. If the first argument names a file, it is treated as a 'run' script to be installed at \fI/etc/sv/*/run\fR as an executable file. If the first argument names a directory, that directory is copied as a whole to \&\fI/etc/sv\fR. .PP Options are comma separated, like mount options. Unrecognized options are errors. The following options are recognized: .IP "\fIdisable\fR" 4 .IX Item "disable" Install the runscript but do not enable it by default. This means that the corresponding service will not be started. The service can be enabled manually by the system administrator or automatically using \fBupdate\-service\fR\|(8). .IP "\fIname\fR=preferred\-name" 4 .IX Item "name=preferred-name" By default, the name of the directory under \fI/etc/sv\fR for a given runscript is the basename of the path argument naming it. This option allows overriding that default with an explicitly chosen directory name. .IP "\fIlogscript\fR" 4 .IX Item "logscript" Install a standard \fIlog/run\fR script that invokes \fBsvlogd\fR\|(8) with the rights of the dedicated user. Specifying this option produces an error if the path argument names a directory that already contains a \fI/log/run\fR script. .IP "\fIonupgrade\fR=string" 4 .IX Item "onupgrade=string" This option controls what to do during the upgrade of a service when runit is \s-1PID 1\s0; it takes one of the following strings as argument: .Sp \&\fIrestart\fR restart the service in postinstall, after all files of the package are unpacked and the upgrade is complete. This is the same as dh_installinit or dh_installsystemd ' \-\-restart\-after\-upgrade '. This is the implicit default if the 'onupgrade' option is not set. .Sp \&\fIstop\fR stop the service in prerm and start again in postinst. This option is useful if the daemon get confused by the package being upgraded while it's still running. This is the same as dh_installinit or dh_installsystemd '\-\-no\-restart\-after\-upgrade'. .Sp \&\fInostop\fR do not stop service on upgrade. This has the side-effect of not restarting the service as a part of the upgrade. Use this option when the service does not support being restarted while it's running. Display managers (xdm, slim, ...) are example of non-restartible services. When this option is set the \fBinvoke-run\fR interpreter, provided by \fIrunit\fR package, will refrain from automatically replace the sysvinit-managed instance of the service with a runit-managed instance (replacement requires manual intervention or a system restart). This is the same as dh_installinit or dh_installsystemd '\-\-no\-stop\-on\-upgrade'. .Sp \&\fIreload\fR similar to nostop, but the service configuration is reloaded (\s-1HUP\s0) during the upgrade. This might be useful in cases (like dbus) where the service does not support restarting on upgrade and where reloading the config instead of restarting makes sense. When this option is set the \fBinvoke-run\fR interpreter, provided by \fIrunit\fR package, will refrain to automatically replace the sysvinit-managed instance of the service with a runit-managed instance (replacement requires manual intervention or a system restart). .Sp Please note that \fIonupgrade\fR does not control whether the service will be started after the first install of the package; by default the service is always started if it's enabled (and stopped before removal). To not start the service after the first install you should use the 'disable' option. .IP "\fInoscripts\fR" 4 .IX Item "noscripts" With this option dh-runit will not add its snippets to maintscripts; actions like enable or disable, start, stop, restart and purge the service need manual editing of maintaner scripts. .IP "\fIusr\fR" 4 .IX Item "usr" With this option dh-runit will install the service directory under /usr/share/runit/sv/ instead of the default /etc/sv/. It must be used together with the 'bin' option or dh-runit will exit with an error. This option in mainly intended for a catch-all runscript package. This option is experimental and it's use may produce a buggy package; the runit trigger used in place of several dh/maintscripts actions is very new to Debian; also the mechaninsm to automatically copy the service into /etc/sv/ is still under development. .IP "\fIfinish\fR" 4 .IX Item "finish" Install a standard finish file with the service; if there is already a finish file inside the service directory, this option does nothing. .IP "\fIbin\fR=/full/path/to/bin" 4 .IX Item "bin=/full/path/to/bin" The full path to the binary that is exec'd run in the runscript should be provided. When this option is used, additional metafiles are written inside the service directory so that postinstall and prerem actions that are usually performed inside maintainer scripts are performed with a trigger on runit package side. When this option is used, only the postrm snippet that handles purge action is written, postinst and prerm are skipped. This option is experimental. .IP "\fIpresubj\fR" 4 .IX Item "presubj" Include presubj file for reportbug into generate package. This file contains note that suggest including runit maintainers into copy of bug reports, related to runit integration. If the package already include it's own presubj file, that file takes precedence over runit presubj file. This may make life of package maintainer who uses another init system easier. .IP "\fIdefaults\fR" 4 .IX Item "defaults" If you don't need other options, specify this one. .IP "\fIsince\fR" 4 .IX Item "since" Since dh-runit 2.8.15 this option is no longer needed and is deprecated. It's retained only for backward compatibility with packages that still use it (see #942323). It's scheduled for removal with 3.0 release. .IP "\fInoreplace\fR" 4 .IX Item "noreplace" Since dh-runit 2.9.0 this option is deprecated and it's retained only for backward compatibility and it's scheduled for removal with 3.0 release. You can use onupgrade=nostop instead. .IP "\fInofinish\fR" 4 .IX Item "nofinish" This option is deprecated, does nothing and it's scheduled for removal with 3.0 release. .SH "SUBSTITUTION VARIABLES" .IX Header "SUBSTITUTION VARIABLES" Packages using \fBdh_runit\fR do not depend on \fBrunit\fR but should include the \&\fIrunit:Breaks\fR variable in their \fIBreaks\fR field in \fIdebian/control\fR to ensure that no breakages are caused by a too-old version of \fBrunit\fR package. .SH "EXAMPLES" .IX Header "EXAMPLES" This section contains several example \fI\fIpackage\fI.runit\fR snippets. .PP .Vb 3 \& # In this case, a file is installed as a \*(Aqrun\*(Aq script.
