1.30 release - watchdog improvements, robust improvements, and new manuals

[Vyacheslav Matyukhin]

1.30 release just went out to CPAN.

 

First, watchdog now REstarts the service, instead of trying to start it. It is important for all services with non-trivial status checks.

Also, watchdog now is much faster for non-root services - it doesn't fork several times to change credentials, just sets them once per service.

 

Second, all status and pid file updates now use new Ubic::AtomicFile module, which does rename and fsync in a common, secure fashion. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317781/comments/54 to learn why this is necessary. (Previous releases already did tmp file + rename trick, but didn't call fsync in all cases.)

 

Third and maybe most important in the long term improvement is that ther are more docs!

Now we have Ubic::Manual::Intro, Ubic::Manual::Overview and Ubic::Manual::Multiservices.

Also, Ubic::Service::SimpleDaemon POD is now much more sane.

 

Enjoy!

I just uploaded 1.31 hotfix, setup didn't work in 1.30.

I really should write tests for "ubic-admin setup" procedure.

See https://github.com/berekuk/Ubic/issues/13 for details.
