Note the information in this file is in reverse order. +## OpenRC 0.46 + +The path for the reference file for the swclock service is now +configurable in conf.d/swclock. + +In the past, if supervise_daemon_args was not set *or empty*, it defaulted to +`start_stop_daemon_args`. This was bad because supervise-daemon doesn't +accept the same options as `start-stop-daemon`. So if we set e.g. +`start_stop_daemon_args="--wait 50"`, but not `supervise_daemon_args`, +and the user adds `supervisor=supervise-daemon` to the corresponding +conf.d/ file, the service will fail to start due to +unrecognized option "wait". +It would be best to remove this fallback, but that might break some +existing scripts that depend on it. So we are changing it to +use `start_stop_daemon_args` as the default for `supervise_daemon_args` +only if `supervise_daemon_args` is not set at all, but not if it's +empty. + +This fallback will be dropped in a future release. + + ## OpenRC 0.45 The old make-based build system is removed in this release.
