The nosh package is now up to version 1.32 . * http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/ * https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2015-07-2015-09.html#The-nosh-Project * http://jdebp.info./Softwares/nosh/ This release fixes two problems with Gentoo Linux (control group version detection and a problem with mounting API filesystems) that we hashed out on the Supervision mailing list. It furthermore contains a change to the way that convert-systemd-units generates service bundles that fixes problems with control group setup when the service unit defines a "slice" for the service or when the service unit is a template. In furtherance of that there's a new create-control-group command. Other things in this release include improvements to the (unpackaged) Z Shell command-line completions, which now display option completion menus properly; some improvements to the Terminals chapter in the Guide; fixes to various service bundles that were using shell reserved words and operators such as "for" and "&&" without explicitly invoking the shell; additions to userenv for setting DBus and XDG Runtime variables; and a fix that prevents "system-control reset" from looping indefinitely when run by an unprivileged user such as "messagebus" that lacks access to the control/status API. The major improvement in this release, though, is to console-fb-realizer on TrueOS. FreeBSD gives console-fb-realizer uhid device files to use for input devices, which speak the USB HID report protocol and which console-fb-realizer has been happy with for a long time. TrueOS provides either ums/ukbd devices, which lack various features because they speak the old sysmouse and atkbd protocols, or ugen devices. There are no uhid devices available. console-fb-realizer can now use the ugen devices. Moreover, it will detach the ums/ukbd drivers from the ugen devices using the new detach-kernel-usb-driver command, so that there aren't two things both attempting to read HID reports. console-fb-realizer also now correctly sets the keyboard LEDs on both FreeBSD and TrueOS. There have been several minor adjustments to the kernel VT sharing parts of console-fb-realizer, preparatory to splitting the program up into separate parts for input and output devices, permitting things such as multiple keyboards each with its own keyboard map and numlock semantics, in a future release.
