Hello,
New versions of some of the skarnet.org packages are available.
skalibs-2.10.0.2: bugfixes
execline-2.8.0.0: major version bump, but few and low-impact changes
s6-2.10.0.2: bugfixes
s6-linux-init-1.0.6.1: bugfixes
s6-networking-2.4.1.0: minor version bump
Some details:
* execline-2.8.0.0
----------------
- The if program now propagates its child's exit code by default if it
exits.
- The backtick program's -i behaviour (exit on child failure or
presence of a null character in its output) is now the default. Other
behaviours in case of child failure can be obtained via -I, -x or -D
options; -x is the new one.
- These changes are compatible with all the common uses of if and
backtick, but break compatibility in edge cases, which is why a
major version bump is required. This has nothing in common with the
previous major version bump, which had massive changes all over the
place; this one should go smoothly, and will only impact very specific
uses of backtick.
execline now has man pages, thanks to the untiring flexibeast!
The repository can be found here:
https://github.com/flexibeast/execline-man-pages
Please allow some time for the man pages to be updated to reflect
the current HTML documentation. Currently, the man pages document
execline-2.7.0.1; they are accurate for 2.8.0.0 except for the if and
backtick changes.
* s6-linux-init-1.0.6.1
---------------------
- Bugfixes.
- When s6-linux-init is built with utmps, the default utmp user for
s6-linux-init-maker was set to "utmp". That was a bug: now, by default,
s6-linux-init-maker does not create the utmp services if the -U option
is not given. If you used s6-linux-init-maker without the -U option
and still need the utmps services, you should explicitly set "-U utmp".

* s6-networking-2.4.1.0
---------------------
- Bugfixes (nothing security-related).
- It is now possible to define a maximum amount of time spent in the
TLS handshake no matter how s6-networking has been built. (The -K
option has been implemented for the libtls backend.)
- When SNI has been required, the TLS-related binaries now export
the SSL TLS SNI SERVERNAME option to their application; the variable
contains the relevant server name.

s6-networking has man pages as well:

Enjoy,
Bug-reports welcome.

Seems like there is portability trouble preventing it from working on
darwin and likely also BSDs. The website says:
