Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of GNU pies version 1.6.
GNU pies is a program invocation and execution supervisor, a utility that launches several programs and controls their execution. The programs can be started unconditionally or when a connection to a particular network socket is requiested (inetd functionality). Here are the compressed sources: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pies/pies-1.6.tar.gz (1.7MB) https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pies/pies-1.6.tar.bz2 (1.2MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pies/pies-1.6.tar.gz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pies/pies-1.6.tar.bz2.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: 05223b07ea0ae173041a2c4d65692a67 pies-1.6.tar.gz 46402d25b98b79f3d0abbf42293eaae8 pies-1.6.tar.bz2 64eaa5bb0b70de92c4e58de0bac0d55e47654d2e pies-1.6.tar.gz 427e50cb8e4898788fe5476033a0312facf6bc34 pies-1.6.tar.bz2 The tarballs are signed with the following GPG key: 3602B07F55D0C732 Noteworthy changes in this release: * Selecting preprocessor from the command line. Two command line options are provided to select the preprocessor to use instead of the default m4. The --preprocessor=COMMAND option instructs pies to use COMMAND as preprocessor. The --no-preprocessor option disables the use of the external preprocessor. The new command line options are available both in pies and in the client program piesctl. * piesctl: fix order in which configuration files are examined As stated in the documentation, program-specific configuration file piesctl.conf takes precedence over pies.conf. * Fix reloading of the configuration files. * Fix compilation with --disable-sysvinit Best regards, Sergey -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
